Answered by Examlex AI Copilot

The multistore model is a cognitive theory that falls under the category of information processing theories. This model was proposed by Atkinson and Shiffrin in 1968 and suggests that memory is composed of three different stores: sensory memory, short-term memory, and long-term memory.

In this model, information first enters the sensory memory, where it is briefly stored for a very short period of time. If the information is attended to, it is then transferred to the short-term memory, where it is held for a limited duration unless it is rehearsed. If the information is rehearsed and encoded properly, it is then transferred to the long-term memory, where it can be stored indefinitely.

Overall, the multistore model provides a framework for understanding how information is processed and stored in the human memory system, and it has been influential in shaping our understanding of memory and cognition.
