Question

Suzy looks up from her lunch, realizing that Jacques has just said something to her. What was it? Oh, yes, he has just asked her if she wants to go to the movies. Suzy’s ability to retrieve what Jacques said is due to her ________.

Answer 1

Answer:

Suzy’s ability to retrieve what Jacques said is due to her echoic memory.

Explanation:

Echoic memory is a type of super-short-term memory that stores sounds for about 4 seconds only. That can happen even if we are not paying attention to the sounds, such as is the case with Suzy. For the information received to be processed and given meaning to, it moves from the echoic memory to the short-term memory. Echoic memory is also called auditory sensory memory.
