You Ask Your Friend Drea What She Had for Dinner

You ask your friend Drea what she had for dinner last night, and she responds that she can't remember because her "short-term memory isn't working." Based on the information you have learned in your psychology course, what might you say to Drea about her short-term memory?

A) You should really get your short-term memory checked out as that is not normal.
B) The duration of your short-term memory is really only about 20 seconds, so that is not related to your forgetting.
C) Your sensory memory is likely the cause of forgetting dinner because there were too many things to encode while eating.
D) Short-term memories are often faulty, and we have difficulty retaining information in this type of memory for longer than a day.
