Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The original Atkinson-Schiffrin three-stage information-processing model introduced distinctions among
A
recall, recognition, and relearning
B
shallow processing, semantic processing, and deep processing
C
sensory memory, short-term memory, and long-term memory
D
the mnemonic effect, the spacing effect, and the testing effect
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In 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).

Detailed explanation-2: -The multi-store model of memory (also known as the modal model) was proposed by Richard Atkinson and Richard Shiffrin (1968) and is a structural model. They proposed that memory consisted of three stores: a sensory register, short-term memory (STM) and long-term memory (LTM).

Detailed explanation-3: -the spacing effect. memory construction. The original Atkinson-Schiffrin three-stage information-processing model introduced distinctions among sensory memory, short-term memory, and long-term memory. recall, recognition, and relearning.

Detailed explanation-4: -According to the Atkinson-Shiffrin model, if memories in the short-term store are rehearsed, they will be encoded into the long-term store. The long-term store has a capacity and duration that is so large it is without any known limit, and it stores memories even if they are not actively recalled.

Detailed explanation-5: -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).
