Question

What should be changed to make the following sentence true? In order for a memory to go into storage, it has to pass through three distinct stages: transitional memory, short-term memory, and long-term memory.

Answer 1

the answer is: change the word "transitional" to the word "sensory"

Sensory memory is the first place where we keep new information. We acquire new information through our five senses and transfer that information to the sensory memory, where the memory is kept for a really small window of time before transferred into short-term memory

Approximately, sensory memory could only sustain new information for around 0.2 - 0.5 seconds before transferring it to short -term memory,.
