Question

Sensory storage: a) holds the information for up to 20 seconds. b) is encoded only by the eyes and ears. c) has a relatively large capacity. d) involves primarily semantic encoding.

Answer 1

The correct answer is letter C

The sensory deposit consists of very short term memory. The acquisition of information happens in this first phase. Information that enters this deposit comes in the form of sensory inputs from all sense organs. This deposit can hold large amounts of information; virtually all the information that goes into the sensations.

Once we decide which information to watch, we use a process called Pattern Recognition to transfer information from sensory storage to short-term or primary memory.
