Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Information in short-term memory is coded both acoustically and visually. This means that information can be encoded as sounds (acoustically) and as pictures or images (visually). For example, when trying to remember a phone number, one might repeat the numbers to themselves (acoustic) and also visualize the number pad on a phone (visual).
