==Sensory register==
{{Main|Sensory memory}}
When an environmental stimulus is detected by the senses, it is briefly available in what Atkinson and Shiffrin called the ''sensory registers'' (also ''sensory buffers'' or ''[[sensory memory]]''). Though this store is generally referred to as "the sensory register" or "sensory memory", it is actually composed of multiple registers, one for each sense. The sensory registers do not process the information carried by the stimulus, but rather detect and hold information for milliseconds to seconds in order to be used in short-term memory.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Goldstein |first=E.

Information is only transferred to the short-term memory when attention is given to it, otherwise it decays rapidly and is forgotten.<ref name=AtkinsonShiffrin1968 />
While it is generally agreed that there is a sensory register for each sense, most of the research in the area has focused on the visual and auditory systems.
