Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Long-term memory stores information for a longer period of time, potentially for a lifetime. Conner's memory of the events earlier in the day is most likely stored in his long-term memory as it was a significant event that he can recall vividly. Iconic memory is a type of sensory memory that only holds visual information for a small amount of time (less than one second), short-term memory holds information for a brief period of time (up to 30 seconds), and sensory memory is the initial stage that holds sensory information for a fraction of a second before it is processed further.
