Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Rebecca's concern about limited duration suggests that she is focused on the temporary storage capacity of her memory, which is associated with short-term memory. Sensory memory refers to brief retention of sensory information, iconic memory refers to the visual storage capacity of sensory memory, and echoic memory refers to the auditory storage capacity of sensory memory. None of these seem to be the aspect Rebecca is focused on.
