Some Tests of the Decay Theory of Immediate Memory
A theory of the memory span, based on this hypothesis, is put forward and shows that the effect of additional stimuli interpolated before recall remains considerable even when there is an interval of several seconds between presentation of required and additional stimuli. A Model for Visual Memory Tasks1
A model for visual recall tasks was presented in terms of visual information storage, scanning, rehearsal, and auditory information storage and the main implication of the model for human factors is the importance of the auditory coding in visual tasks.

(Wikicommons). 50 years later and Atkinson and Shiffrin’s multi-store model of memory (aka the modal model) is still relevant today. This post summarizes the model in more detail than most introductory Psychology textbooks, which will give you the chance to distinguish your explanations from the rest. BackgroundThe multi-store model of memory (the MSM) is a product of the cognitive revolution of the 1950s and ’60s. This produced a new wave of experimental research into memory. Before this time, the dominant movement was “behaviorism,” which used the scientific method to study observable actions. Behaviorists believed that since the mind couldn’t be observed it could not be objectively studied. New experimental techniques were developed in the 1950s which allowed psychologists to observe the mind through the use of memory tests. This helped produce a plethora of new experimental findings on memory and it’s from these that Atkinson and Shiffrin’s (1968) MSM was born. Read more:
The MSM tries to explain how memories are formed.The MSM explains memory by focusing on two main points:
A diagram of Atkinson and Shiffrin’s multi-store model of memory. (Wikicommons). Structures (The Stores)There’s a long-standing debate in cognitive psychology about if our memory is one single thing, or if it’s divided into different parts. The first major claim regarding the MSM, therefore, is that memory is made up of separate structures: sensory stores, the short-term store and the long-term store. The sensory stores (aka sensory registers):
The short-term store (aka working memory)
The long-term store
Control ProcessesThe structures above are constants. But according to the MSM, the flow of information in our memory is actively controlled by the individual using a range of control processes. One metaphor is that of hardware and software. The stores are the hardware and the control processes are the software. The claims regarding these control processes are the major contributions this model has made to cognitive psychology. Attention

A different version. In their original article, Atkinson and Shiffrin didn’t produce a complete visual diagram of the MSM which is why you might see different versions. References Atkinson, R.

What is the AtkinsonAtkinson and Shiffrin believed that once information enters the brain, it must be either stored or maintained and that the information which is stored goes into three distinct memory systems: the sensory register, short-term memory, and long-term memory.
What is the AtkinsonIn order for a memory to go into storage (i.e., long-term memory), it has to pass through three distinct stages: Sensory Memory, Short-Term Memory, and finally Long-Term Memory. These stages were first proposed by Richard Atkinson and Richard Shiffrin (1968).
What are the stages in Atkinson and Shiffrin's multistore model of memory?Atkinson and Shiffrin (1968) developed the Multi-Store Model of memory (MSM), which describes flow between three permanent storage systems of memory: the sensory register (SR), short-term memory (STM) and long-term memory (LTM).
