For a moment after hearing his dog's high-pitched bark, Mr. Silvers has a vivid auditory impression of the dog's yelp. His experience most clearly illustrates ________ memory.

echoic

short-term

iconic

Answer:

His experience most clearly illustrates echoic memory.

Explanation:

Echoic memory is a portion of sensory memory and relates to auditory memories. The sensory memory that conveys into record sounds that you’ve recently confronted is a kind of this memory type. When you listen to a sound, your ears convey that sound to the brain and it is saved by echoic memory for an aggregate of four seconds.

While that concise time, your mind forms and holds an accurate reflection of the sound that you listened, so that if you stayed in a tranquil room you could yet "listen" it subsequent the sound has ended.
