counteract their effects; while studying in order to facilitate maximum retention via long-term memory. Finally, explanations of other kinds of forgetting and a discussion of strategies that can improve memory consolidation and retrieval will be discussed.

* Found by Atkinson and Shiffrim (1968) and it states that you have three different types of memory; Sensory memory, short term memory and long term memory * It is a linear model. Therefore, information passes in one direction and if one of the memory box gets disrupted, then the others will too. For example, if your short term memory is disrupted, then your long term memory will also be disrupted. * Your first memory storage is Sensory memory. All information from the environment enters

Some on permanent basis and rest is on temporary basis.

it will transfer the information to the short-term memory. Short-term Memory: Short-term memory is the next stage of our memory. This stage is the working memory. The information in the sensory memory moves to the short-term memory and held for approximately 20 seconds (Hockenbury, 2014).

Long-term Memory: Long-term memory is the last and final stage. This section
