Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The scenario implies that Sarah is actively solving a problem, which requires her to use her working memory to hold the relevant numbers and instructions. The other options, such as serial-position memory and episodic memory, are not directly relevant to this task. While sensory register may be involved in briefly holding sensory information, it is not sufficient for solving a complex arithmetic problem.
