Explain the process of the multi-memory model
environmental stimuli enter the sensory register, then if attention is paid, the information enters the short -term memory, if not retrieved, the info exits the model. If it is maintenance rehearsed, it then stays in STM. If elaborative rehearsal goes underway, the info moves to LTM. From here, if retrieved it re-enters STM briefly.
