The correct answer is short-term memory.

Short-term memory (STM) refers to our ability and capacity for retaining a small amount of information for a short period of time. Remembering an unfamiliar phone number entails the use of our STM. However, a phone number is difficult to retain in our STM because STM has a digit span of approximately seven units. This means that our STM can hold around seven digits of a phone number and not all (10+) of them.

MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Explanation:  Martin Van Buren was one of the key figures who helped found the Democratic Party as a wing or option - coalition of Jeffersonian Republicans who supported Andrew Jackson in the run for President. The justification given by Van Buren for forming the Democratic Party as support for the presidential candidate is that political parties have become an important and desirable factor in political action. The existence of strong competition between the parties meant a constant check on those in power. Also, in order to be a candidate for any political function or office, they would have to go through party selection and thus ensure quality in terms of selecting a candidate to run for election.
