What is the duration of sensory memory?
nexus9112 [7]

Answer:

Sensory memory is an ultra-short-term memory and decays or degrades very quickly, typically in the region of 200 – 500 milliseconds (1/5 – 1/2 second) after the perception of an item, and certainly <em>less than a second</em> (although echoic memory is now thought to last a little longer, up to perhaps three or four seconds).
