b. semantic memory
c. short term memory
d. long term memory

Answer 1

The correct option is A) sensory memory

Step-by-step explanation:

Atkinson and Shiffrin proposed their model of memory in 1968 in which they claimed that memories are stored in three forms:

• a sensory memory
• short-term memory
• long-term memory

In their model, they described that the sensory memory was created by a duration of ¼ to ½ second. The capacity of the sensory memory included all the sensory experiences. It encodes doe sense specific memory.
