Answer to Question 1

a

Answer to Question 2

The three-stage model of memory consists of sensory memory, short-term memory (STM), and long-term memory. The initial stage in memory is called sensory memory. At this stage, information is very temporarily (probably less than one second) stored in a specific sensory register, where information is maintained for about 30 seconds. An alternate term for STM is working memory, which better captures the active nature
of this stage. The capacity of STM is about seven chunks. Rehearsal serves to keep information in STM for longer periods of time. The final stage is called long-term memory. This is the relatively permanent and infinite warehouse of memory, which consists of declarative (knowing that and knowing what) and procedural (knowing how) memory.
