Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

STM has a limited storage capacity and can hold a small amount of information for a brief period of time, usually up to 30 seconds. Interruption or interference can disrupt the transfer of information from STM to long-term memory (LTM), resulting in forgetting. Information stored in STM is not permanent and needs to be encoded and transferred to LTM for long-term retention.
