Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that the three-stage (three-box) model of memory consists of three main types of memory stores: sensory memory, short-term memory, and long-term memory.
Recognize that the first stage in this model is where information is initially encoded and held very briefly in its raw sensory form.
Identify that this initial stage is called sensory memory, which captures momentary sensory impressions from the environment.
Note that sensory memory holds information for only a fraction of a second to a few seconds before it either fades away or moves into short-term memory.
Conclude that according to the three-stage model, the momentary form of memory where information is first encoded is sensory memory.
