The three phrases of the human memory are the sensory memory, the short-term
memory and the long-term memory. This division of the memory into phrases is based
on the length of time of the memory.
Sensory memory is instantaneous memory. It is an image of memory that enters
your mind only for a short period of time; it comes and goes in under a second. The
memory will not last longer than that unless the information enters the short-term
memory.
Information can be held in the short-term memory for about twenty seconds or as
long as you are actively using it. If you repeat a fact to yourself, that fact will stay in
your short-term memory as long as you keep repeating it. Once you stop repeating it,
either it is forgotten or it moves into long-term memory.
Long-term memory is the huge memory tank that can hold ideas and images for
years and years. Information can be added to your long-term memory when you actively
try to put it there through memorization or when an idea or image enters your mind on
its own.
1. The best tittle for this pasage would be :
A. The differrence between sensory and short - term memory.
B. How long it takes to memorize.
C. The stages of human memory.
D. Human phrases.
2. The three phrases of memory discussed in this passage are differentiated according
to :
A. The location in the brain.
A. The period of time it takes to remember something.
B. How long the senses are involved in the memory.
