Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

If Shirley had no idea what the woman's name was immediately after hearing it, the name did not make it to her sensory register which is responsible for processing and encoding sensory information from the environment. If it had made it to her short-term memory, she would have had some recollection of it even if it was not completely clear. Likewise, if it had made it to her long-term memory, she would have been able to recall it later on with cues or prompts. Therefore, option A is the most accurate choice.
