Atkinson and Shiffrin's view of memory proposed the Multiple Store Model, which suggests that short-term memory serves as an intermediate store between sensory memory and long-term memory. They proposed that information first enters sensory memory, which has a large capacity but a short duration. If the information is attended to, it may pass on to short-term memory, which has a limited capacity but a slightly longer duration. If the information is rehearsed in short-term memory, it may then be transferred to long-term memory, which has an unlimited capacity and a potentially permanent duration.
