Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The three stages of memory, in the correct order of processing, are sensory memory, working (or short-term) memory, and long-term memory. Sensory memory is the initial stage that receives sensory information and lasts for a very short period. Working memory processes and holds information temporarily for analysis and either discards it or moves it to long-term memory. Long-term memory is where information is stored indefinitely for later retrieval.
