Answer:

The correct answer is : A. a longer delay between when participants saw the three rows and when they had to report one of them

Step-by-step explanation:

Sensory memory refers to the memory just long enough to be transferred to short-term memory. It happens when the sense of sight holds a visual image for less than a second. The brain retains impressions of sensory information after the experience has ended. When you gather what comes from the environment they are retained accurately, but very briefly by the use or our senses
