Chuck Wildlee, a baseball pitcher, was struck on the head by a line drive hit by Charley Hussel. Fortunately, Chuck was not seri
ously injured, but when he was revived, he could not remember how many balls and strikes the batter had. This was because:________. a. sensory memory had not been converted to short-term memory.
b. short-term memory had not been converted to sensory memory.
c. he lost both sensory and short-term memory.
d. long-term memory had not been converted to a memory engram.
e. long-term memory had not been converted to sensory memory.
Option C, he lost both sensory and short-term memory
Explanation:
Sensory memory is basically the information received by the five sense organs and also the instruction given by brain to the respective sense organ.
This sensory memory keeps storing and is collectively referred to as short term memory.
Since Chuck Wildlee was unable to remember how many balls and strikes the batter had. In past he would have perceived this information through eyes which should have been part of sensory memory and later the part of short term memory.
Thus, it can be said that Chuck Wildlee lost both his sensory memory and short term memory
