Answer 1

1. Information processing. As per this model, there are three stages of memory -sensory register, short-term memory and long-term memory.

2. Serial position effect. The positioning of the item in the list affects the recall of the items.

3. Type of practice. In massed practice, there is no rest, while there is rest in spaced practice.
