Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Long-term memory refers to the portion of memory that is more or less permanent, in contrast to working memory (or short-term memory) which lasts only for a few seconds or a minute or so, and primary memory which refers to sensory memory (the initial stage of memory processing where sights, sounds, and other sensory information are briefly held before further processing occurs). Eidetic memory, on the other hand, refers to the ability to remember images or objects with vividness bordering on actual visual perception, which is a rare phenomenon and not a type of memory storage.
