Question

question 2 of 10
what type of memory lasts from milliseconds to a few seconds?

a. echoic

b. short - term

c. processing

d. sensory

Explanation:

To determine the correct answer, we analyze each option:

• Option A: Echoic memory is a type of sensory memory related to auditory information, but sensory memory (including echoic) has a very brief duration, but the question's duration (milliseconds to a few seconds) and the options' context suggest sensory is the broader category here? Wait, no—wait, sensory memory (including iconic, echoic) lasts for milliseconds to a few seconds. Wait, let's re - check:
• Sensory memory: Holds sensory information (visual, auditory, etc.) for a very short time, typically from milliseconds to a few seconds.
• Short - term memory: Lasts for about 15 - 30 seconds (or more with rehearsal) and has a limited capacity.
• Echoic memory is a sub - type of sensory memory (auditory sensory memory).
• “Processing” is not a standard memory type with this duration.

So the memory that lasts from milliseconds to a few seconds is sensory memory.

Answer:

D. Sensory
