Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Sensory memory is characterized by its very brief duration, typically lasting up to a few seconds, which allows for the initial processing of sensory information before it either decays or is transferred to short-term memory. It does not last for several minutes, use rehearsal to maintain information, nor does its duration significantly change with different reporting procedures.
