Sensory Memory in the Atkinson-Shiffrin Model
Within the Atkinson-Shiffrin model, sensory memory is the initial stage where environmental stimuli like sights, sounds, and tastes are first processed. This storage is extremely brief, lasting only up to a couple of seconds. During this stage, a filtering process occurs where information deemed not valuable is discarded, while significant information is transferred to the short-term memory system for further processing.

Sensory Memory in the Atkinson-Shiffrin Model
You are at a celebration and wave a lit sparkler in the air, creating a circle of light. Even though the sparkler is only at one point in the circle at any given moment, you perceive a complete, continuous circle for a fraction of a second. This brief persistence of the visual image is an example of which cognitive process?

Sensory Memory in the Atkinson-Shiffrin Model
A person sees a new phone number on a billboard, mentally rehearses it until they can write it down a few seconds later, and is then able to recall it the next day. According to the model that describes memory as a sequence of three distinct stages, place the following memory events in the correct order.
