Short-term memory holds information temporarily for up to about 30 seconds, whereas the sensory register holds information for a very brief period (a few seconds or less) and working memory is a more active form of short-term memory where information is actively manipulated for cognitive tasks. Long-term memory stores information for a duration ranging from a few days to a lifetime.
