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.

Famous quotes containing the words models of, models, memory and/or storage:
“The parents who wish to lead a quiet life I would say: Tell your children that they are very naughty—much naughtier than most children; point to the young people of some acquaintances as models of perfection, and impress your own children with a deep sense of their own inferiority. You carry so many more guns than they do that they cannot fight you. This is called moral influence and it will enable you to bounce them as much as you please.”
—Samuel Butler (1835–1902)
“Friends broaden our horizons. They serve as new models with whom we can identify. They allow us to be ourselves—and accept us that way. They enhance our self-esteem because they think we’re okay, because we matter to them. And because they matter to us—for various reasons, at various levels of intensity—they enrich the quality of our emotional life.”
—Judith Viorst (20th century)
“We went to Mannheim and attended a shivaree—otherwise an opera—the one called “Lohengrin.” The banging and slamming and booming and crashing were something beyond belief. The racking and pitiless pain of it remains stored up in my memory alongside the memory of the time that I had my teeth fixed.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
“Many of our houses, both public and private, with their almost innumerable apartments, their huge halls and their cellars for the storage of wines and other munitions of peace, appear to me extravagantly large for their inhabitants. They are so vast and magnificent that the latter seem to be only vermin which infest them.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
