Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Sensory memory is responsible for briefly holding and encoding incoming sensory information, such as visual and auditory stimuli. This information is then passed on to short-term memory for further processing and potentially transfer to long-term memory. As Jennifer has forgotten most of the stimuli she experienced, it suggests that they were not transferred to long-term memory, but may have been briefly processed in sensory memory.
