Question

1. suppose tara looks up a number in the telephone book. after getting a busy signal, a minute or so later she tries to call again-but has already forgotten the number! this example illustrates the limited duration of______memory. semantic echoic implicit short - term

Explanation:

• Semantic memory is about general knowledge (facts, concepts), not short - lived number recall.
• Echoic memory is for auditory information (like sounds), not visual - based number recall here.
• Implicit memory is non - conscious (e.g., skills like riding a bike), not relevant to conscious number recall.
• Short - term memory has a limited duration (about 1 - 30 seconds without rehearsal), which fits Tara forgetting the number after a minute (but considering normal short - term memory decay and possible time approximation in the example).

Answer:

D. short - term
