Explanation:

Question 18

Short - term memory has a limited capacity (can hold about 5 - 9 items) and a limited duration (usually seconds to a minute or so). So it holds a limited amount of information for a limited time.

Long - term memory has a vast (essentially unlimited) capacity to store information and can store it for many years (even a lifetime).

Semantic memory is the part of long - term memory that stores general facts and information (like historical events, scientific concepts, etc.). Episodic memory is about personal experiences, procedural about how to do things, and emotional is related to emotional - based memories.
