Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Box A refers to the first stage of memory processing. Long-term memory is the correct term to be inserted in Box A as it is the stage in which information is stored for an extended period of time, potentially indefinitely. Sensory memory is a brief stage of memory processing that occurs immediately after stimulus perception, while short-term memory refers to the temporary retention and processing of information. Selective memory is not a recognized stage of memory processing.
