Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Sensory memory is the system of memory that is comprised of our perceptions of sensory experience. It is the immediate, initial recording of sensory information in the memory system. Flashbulb memory refers to a highly detailed, exceptionally vivid 'snapshot' of the moment and circumstances in which a piece of surprising and consequential (or emotionally arousing) news was heard. Long-term memory refers to the continuous storage of information over an extended period. Short-term memory refers to the temporary storage of information that is being actively processed.
