Question

match each image to the stages of memory it makes use of.
short - term memory long - term memory sensory memory
jess is reading a book. the chirping of the birds at a distance stays in her memory for less than three seconds and is then lost.
gia is memorizing her therapist’s number before she finds a pen to note it down. once noted, she will forget the number.

Explanation:

1. For Jess: Sensory memory holds sensory inputs (like bird chirps) for just a few seconds before fading, which matches the description of the sound being lost in under 3 seconds.
2. For Gia: Short-term memory temporarily stores small amounts of information (like a phone number) for a short time, only until the task (writing it down) is done, after which it is forgotten.

Answer:

1. Jess's scenario: sensory memory
2. Gia's scenario: short-term memory
