Short-Term Memory Is a Critically Important Component of the Information

Short-Term Memory is a critically important component of the information processing system because

A) it can combine information from the environment and Long-Term Memory whenever a person tries to learn new information, make decisions, or solve problems.
B) nothing can be output through the sensory store without passing through it first.
C) the rules of behavior are stored in STM.
D) it lasts longer than the other forms of memory and, unlike the other forms of memory, it has the advantage of being 'erasable,' so that incorrect information can be filtered out.
