Question

A. sensory memory - perceptual memory - working memory
B. STM - LTM - perceptual memory
C. sensory memory - STM - LTM - perceptual memory
D. sensory memory - STM - LTM

Answer 1

D. sensory memory - STM - LTM

Step-by-step explanation:

Sensory Memory: The sensory memory is considered to be the first stage of a memory being encoded by the sensory receptors and is described as a flying memory that allows a person to retain a sense of the sensory information even after the actual stimulus has been ceased.

Short-term memory: Also referred to as STM, and is considered to be the second stage of the memory. It lasts for a few seconds after the original memory is being ceased. If the short-term memory is being revised with time then it is said to be transferred into the long-term memory.

Long-term memory: Also referred to as LTM, and id considered to be the third stage of the memory. It lasts for years in a person's memory and can be brought to be in conscious awareness whenever needed.
