Permanent Memory Store

The modal model of memory, redrawn from Atkinson and Shiffrin (1971). Note how information has to pass through the short term store in order to access the long term store. Note also that the sensory stores are not discussed in the text,. They are very short lived and are specific to the various sensory pathways that feed information into the short term store.
