According to the modal model of memory proposed by Atkinson and Shiffrin, what is the correct sequence?

A. Attention
B. Elaborative Rehearsal
C. Sensory Memory
D. Short-term Memory
E. Long-term Memory

Correct option is D

The Modal Model of Memory, proposed by Atkinson and Shiffrin, explains memory through three primary stages and emphasizes the role of attention and rehearsal in moving information between these stages. The correct sequence is:
    C. Sensory Memory: Information is first captured through sensory registers, like iconic (visual) and echoic (auditory) memory. It holds information for a very brief time (e.g., a few milliseconds).
    A. Attention: Attention selects specific information from sensory memory to be processed further in short-term memory.
    D. Short-term Memory: Also known as working memory, this stage holds information temporarily and processes it through rehearsal.
    B. Elaborative Rehearsal: Repeating and organizing information in a meaningful way helps transfer it to long-term memory.
    E. Long-term Memory: Information that is rehearsed and encoded effectively is stored in long-term memory for later retrieval.
