Case Study

Applying the Three-Stage Memory Model

A person is driving and briefly glances at a billboard with a phone number. To remember it long enough to make a call a few moments later, they repeat the number to themselves several times. The next week, they are surprised they can still recall the number. Based on the model that proposes information passes sequentially through three distinct stages to be stored, explain how each part of this scenario corresponds to one of the three stages.
