Question

Richard was not playing attention to his teacher and therefore missed the main points of the lecture. What process of memory would be immediately affected by Richard's lack attention?

Answer 1

Echoic memory would be immediately affected by Richard's lack attention.

Step-by-step explanation:

• Echoic memory is a type of sensory memory which uses the auditory system for receiving the information from anybody talking or lecturing in general.

• This type of memory has the capacity to withhold a large amount of auditory information, but for only a maximum of 3–4 seconds.

• This sound echoes in the mind for a brief time immediately after any auditory stimulus gets generated by any lecture or presentation.
