Infantile Amnesia refers to the inability of adults to recall:

• Recently learned information.

The Multistore Memory Model proposes that memory consists of which three stages?

• Sensory memory, short-term memory, implicit memory.

• Working memory, long-term memory, retrieval.

• Sensory memory, short-term memory, long-term memory.

• Encoding, storage, retrieval.

The Working Memory Model expands on the concept of short-term memory by suggesting it is:

• A passive storage system for information.

• Primarily responsible for storing factual information.

The Phonological Loop, a component of working memory, deals with:

• Visual imagery and spatial reasoning.

• The central executive's control over information.
