Storage	encompasses how information is retained over time and how it is represented in memory
Atkinson-Shiffrin theory	states that memory storage involves three separate systems
Sensory memory	holds information from the world in its original sensory form for only an instant
Short-term memory	is a limited capacity memory system in which information is usually retained for only as long as 30 seconds unless we use strategies to retain it longer
Working memory	refers to a combination of components, including short-term memory and attention, that allow us to hold information temporarily as we perform cognitive tasks

Schema	preexisting mental concept or framework that helps people to organize and interpret information
