(a) Name the memory stores labelled X, Y and Z. [3]
(b) Outline the role of attention in the model. [1]
(c) Explain one way rehearsal could affect information in store Y. [2]
(a) X: sensory memory [1]; Y: short-term memory / STM [1]; Z: long-term memory / LTM [1] (b) Attention selects information from sensory memory for transfer to STM [1] (c) Rehearsal keeps the information active in STM [1] and can increase the chance that it is transferred to LTM / prevents rapid loss from STM [1]
