The Multi-Store Memory model definition.
Multi-Store Memory Model (MSM) – Atkinson and Shiffrin (1968)
What is The Multi-Store Memory Model is a psychological theory that explains how memory works in terms of three distinct stores:
Sensory Memory (SM)
Short-Term Memory (STM)
Long-Term Memory (LTM)
It suggests that memory is a linear process, moving from sensory memory to short term memory by attention and then short term memory to long term memory through transfer. Sensory memory is unlimited and duration is a few seconds, Short term memory is 7+/- lasting for a minute or so. Long term memory is unlimited and can last a lifetime.

Define the theory of Moral Development
The Theory of Moral Development is a psychological theory created by Lawrence Kohlberg. It explains how people learn to decide what is right and wrong as they grow up. Kohlberg believed that moral thinking develops in stages, and he grouped six stages into three main levels:
Pre-conventional level (usually in young children): People make decisions based on avoiding punishment or getting rewards.
Conventional level (common in teens and adults): People make decisions based on following rules and gaining approval from others.
Post-conventional level (less common): People follow their own moral principles, even if they go against laws or rules.
Kohlberg thought that everyone goes through these stages in the same order, but not everyone reaches the highest level.
