In the Information Processing Model, information FIRST enters the system through
A
sensory memory/sensory register
B
long term memory
C
working memory
D
attention
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In the Atkinson-Shiffrin model, stimuli from the environment are processed first in sensory memory, storage of brief sensory events, such as sights, sounds, and tastes. It is very brief storage-up to a couple of seconds. We are constantly bombarded with sensory information.

Detailed explanation-2: -The first stage of the informational processing model is the Sensory Memory, which provides the initial screening and processing of incoming stimuli. As the name suggests, Sensory Memory deals with any information that can be perceived through the five senses.

Detailed explanation-3: -The incoming information first enters the sensory memory. Sensory memory has a large capacity. However, it is of very short duration, i.e. less than a second. It is a memory system that registers information from each of the senses with reasonable accuracy.

Detailed explanation-4: -In the sensory register process, the brain obtains information from the environment. This activity is short, lasting at most a few seconds. During sensory register, the brain gathers information passively through visual and auditory cues, known respectively as “iconic” and “echoic” memory.

Detailed explanation-5: -Sensory memory is a very brief memory that allows people to retain impressions of sensory information after the original stimulus has ceased. It is often thought of as the first stage of memory that involves registering a tremendous amount of information about the environment, but only for a very brief period.
