What is the initial momentary storage of information that lasts only an instant?
The correct answer is a) Working memory is the initial, momentary storage of information, lasting only an instant. Information is first brought into our working memory which lasts 10-15 seconds. It is very short-lived.
What memory is an initial momentary storage of information?
Sensory Memory Sensory Memory system refers to the initial momentary storage of information that holds memory for very short period for further processing. The images of different sights, sounds and taste are provided in sensory memory.
What refers to the initial momentary recording of information in our sensory systems?
