2.1.1 The multi-store model of memory (Atkinson and Shiffrin, 1968), including information processing, encoding, storage, retrieval, capacity and duration.
Use - multi-store model of memory to connect the rule to the data and decision in the question.
This matters because - multi-store model of memory determines what can be inferred or chosen; begin with the stated conditions and keep the conclusion tied to the evidence.
Example: apply - multi-store model of memory to one small, clearly defined case, show the key step or comparison, and explain the result in words.
Boundary: - Multi-store model of memory is not a universal recommendation. Check the syllabus scope, assumptions, units and the limits of the evidence before generalising.
