Detailed explanation-1: -Atkinson and Shiffrin’s Multi-store Model of Memory is considered to be reductionist. This is because it breaks memory up into separate components and tries to explain each one individually rather than looking at their effects as a whole.

Detailed explanation-2: -Atkinson and Shiffrin’s 1968 model of memory outlines that memory consists of three distinct forms: sensory memory, short-term memory and long-term memory. Sensory memory is the brief storage of information from our senses – sight, sound, touch, etc.

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).
