Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Participants showed better memory of letters flashed for a brief duration when a high, medium, or low tone was sounded immediately after the flashing of the letters. This is known as sensory memory or iconic memory, where information is stored very briefly in the sensory system. The tone acted as a cue to transfer the information from sensory memory to short-term memory, resulting in better recall. Therefore, option D is the correct choice.
