Rearrange the steps involves in Atkinson and Shiffrin’s multi-store model of memory, in order.

This enters the short-term memory which has a moderate capacity, holding 5-9 items for up to 30 secs
Information stored here can be retrieved, decoded and used by the short-term memory
Environmental cues are received by sensory receptors and enter the short-term sensory store, which has a very large capacity but can only store information for up to a second
If information is rehearsed, it is encoded and transferred to the long-term memory, where there is a potential to store an unlimited amount of information for an indefinite amount of time
Selective attention is able to retain information perceived as important and disregard irrelevant stimuli
