Question

According to the stage model of memory:

Answer 1

Answer:

B. memory involves the stages of sensory memory, short-term memory, and long-term memory.  

Explanation:

Memory is a storage system that allows to retain learned information and to evoke that same information, that is, to remember previously held information. According to the memory stage model, it is possible to state that memory is divided into three stages: sensory, short term and long term.

• Sensory memory: Sensory memory is a type of memory that originates in the sensory organs. The information obtained by the senses is stored for a very short time (0.1 to 2 seconds). If the stored information is not processed, it is lost if it is stored in short-term memory.
• Short-term memory: This type of memory retains information for a limited period of time and can be forgotten or switched to long-term memory. In short-term memory two memories can be distinguished: immediate memory and working memory.
• Long-term memory: long-term memory.  is considered a library, where information is classified, cataloged and archived. Scholars believe that this kind of memory has unlimited capacity. If information has gone through the first two stages (sensory and short-term), it may be part of long-term memory. Relevant information is progressively transferred from short term to long term memory. The more contact you have with this information, whether it is repeated or used, the more likely it will end up in long-term memory. This is why studying is critical for better exam performance.
