Question

To prepare for his test on Tuesday morning, Harry studied on Monday night. He remembered the information long enough to do well on the test on Tuesday but could not remember it for a surprise quiz a week later. Based on this information, how far in Harry's information processing system did the information get?

Answer 1

Answer:

It reached long-term memory

Explanation:

Long-term memory (LTM) refers to the stage of the memory model where informative knowledge is held indefinitely( the Atkinson–Shiffrin memory stages). This opposed to short-term and working memory, which lasts for about 18 to 30 seconds. In the above since Harry's information lasted long enough to finish his test on Tuesday( 10s of hours or there about) it must have reached his long term memory.
