Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The three-stage model of memory developed by Atkinson and Shifirin has been critizized because it does not take into account:
A
our experiences in contrast to our memories of those experiences
B
that we are able to focus all of our attention on every piece of sensory information presented to us
C
our memory for surprising, significant events
D
that some information is processed into long-term memory
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The three-stage model of memory developed by Atkinson and Shiffrin has been criticized because it does not take into account: that we are able to focus all of our attention on every piece of sensory information presented to us.

Detailed explanation-2: -The model has been further criticized as suggesting that rehearsal is the key process which initiates and facilitates transfer of information into LTM. There is very little evidence supporting this hypothesis, and long-term recall can in fact be better predicted by a levels-of-processing framework.

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -A model of memory proposed by Atkinson and Shiffrin (1968) that features memory as being comprised of three major components: sensory memory, short-term memory, and long-term memory. Also known as the Multistore Model of Memory.

Detailed explanation-5: -Long-term memory (LTM) is the stage of the Atkinson–Shiffrin memory model in which informative knowledge is held indefinitely. It is defined in contrast to short-term and working memory, which persist for only about 18 to 30 seconds.
