Question

Tammy witnessed a hit-and-run accident. She saw the license plate of the car that fled the scene. She tried to keep it in memory by repeating the sequence of digits and letters to herself until she could find a pen and paper to write it down. Tammy relied on which kind of memory?

Answer 1

Answer: Short-term memory

Explanation:

Short-term memory is referred to as a type of memory which keeps brief or short information temporarily. Information which an individual is presently thinking of can be remembered for a short period of time and it is always limited. Furthermore, information kept in short term memory can also be recalled through subvocal repetition. It is also called active memory. Thus, its time span is in seconds.
