Chapter 1 in your textbook discusses the Atkinson-Shiffrin model as an important example of the information-processing approach. According to this model,
a. almost all the stimuli that pass through sensory memory will end up in long-term memory.
b. we need to identify the biological correlates of memory.
c. memory can be represented as a series of stages, in which information is passed between separate storage areas.
d. an item is more likely to be stored in memory if it is accompanied by insight.
Question 2
What is the current status of the Atkinson-Shiffrin model of memory?
a. Almost all of the recent research supports the model.
b. Only the concept of sensory memory is still of interest to researchers.
c. The theory has been completely abandoned, because there is no research support for the distinction between short-term memory and long-term memory.
d. Some studies support the distinction between short-term memory and long-term memory, but other studies suggest that these two forms of memory are actually similar.
