Question

9. Stimuli from the environment are
registered in our
O sensory memory
o
short-term memory
O
long-term memory​

Answer 1

We need to answer the question as to where the stimuli from the environment are stored

• Before choosing an option we need to know what is the meaning of the memories given
• In sensory memory, information is stored only for a few seconds
• This information is received from our five sense organs
• The information is stored till the sense is being stimulated
• Then this information is sent to short term memory
• Short term memory has the capacity to store information for a short period only
• The memory stored in the short term memory will not be manipulated
• Long term memory has the capacity to store information for a longer period of time which can go up to years
• Therefore, the first option will be correct which is sensory memory.
