| Sensory Register (SR) (4) | •stores unprocessed information •coded primarily by visual (iconic) and auditory (echoic) input •large capacity (almost unlimited) •250 millisecond duration |
| Maintenance rehearsal | Repeating information over and over in short term memory |
| Short term memory (STM) (4) | •coded primarily acoustically and visually •capacity of 5-9 items •duration of 20-30 seconds •maintenance rehearsal happens here |
| Long term memory (LTM) (4) | •supposedly unlimited capacity •potentially an unlimited duration (forever) •primarily coded semantically •inf is recalled from here |
