The three-stage model of memory includes sensory memory, short-term memory, and long-term memory. Sensory memory is the initial stage that briefly holds sensory information, followed by short-term memory, which temporarily holds information that is being actively processed. Finally, information that has been rehearsed and processed in short-term memory can be transferred to long-term memory for later retrieval. The sequence in choice A best reflects the order of these stages.
