Models of Memory Storage
Varieties of different memory models have been proposed to account for different types of recall processes, including cued recall, free recall, and serial recall. In order to explain the recall process, however, the memory model must identify how an encoded memory can reside in the memory storage for a prolonged period of time until the memory is accessed again, during the recall process. Not all models, however, use the terminology of short-term and long-term memory to explain memory storage; the Dual-Store theory and refined version of Atkinson-Shiffrin Model of Memory (Atkinson 1968) uses both short-term and long-term memory storage, but others do not.
