Modal Memory is a memory game that shows how the Atkinson-Shiffrin model of memory works by using the different structures to solve different tasks.

A short description of the model

(Taken from Wikipedia)
The Atkinson–Shiffrin model (also known as the multi-store model or modal model) is a model of memory proposed in 1968 by Richard Atkinson and Richard Shiffrin. The model asserts that human memory has three separate components:

1. a sensory register, where sensory information enters memory,
2. a short-term store, also called working memory or short-term memory, which receives and holds input from both the sensory register and the long-term store, and
3. a long-term store, where information which has been rehearsed  in the short-term store is held indefinitely.

How it works

As opposed to regular memory games, which test short-term memory, Modal Memory test all three components of the modal model. Currently there are two versions.
