Question

Jamaal has to make an important phone call. Unfortunately, his cell phone is not charged and he has to use his landline, which does not store phone numbers. To make the call, he has to get the number from his cell phone and remember it long enough to dial on his landline. For this task, which memory system is MOST important?

A.working memory
B. echoic memory
C. long-term memory
D. flashbulb memory
A. working memory

Answer 1

Option D. flashbulb memory

Step-by-step explanation:

The clue lies in how long Jamaal has to remember the phone number. He has to remember the number just enough to make a phone call. In order to do this, he has to make sure that he remembers the number and retains it in the shortest possible time. In order to do this, he has to use the short-term memory in his brain. This is the memory that is needed for the instant recall of events. Thus, a flashbulb memory will be required in this case. As the word suggests "the flashbulb" is just a flashing light, enough to provide instantaneous light at a time.
