Answer 1

Answer:

A. short-term memory can be encoded to form long-term memories.

Explanation:

Memory consolidation: In psychology, the term "memory consolidation" is described as a process through which an individual's brain generally convert all the memories present in the short-term into the person's long-term memories.

Short-term memories of an individual last for about thirty seconds that is why an individual needs to shift a few specific information to the long-term memories in order to be remembered.

It is often referred to as a "time-dependent process" through an individual's learned experiences are being converted into his or her long term memory via chemical and structural changes in the nervous system.
