Understanding Memory and Learning Styles

What is the primary function of short-term memory?

• To store information indefinitely

• To temporarily hold information for immediate use

• To process sensory input

• To organise long-term memories

Which of the following is a characteristic of long-term memory?

• It has a limited capacity

• It stores information for a short duration

• It can hold information indefinitely

• It is primarily used for sensory processing

Sensory memory is responsible for:

• Processing emotional responses

• Briefly retaining sensory information such as the feel of the paddle

• Organising information into categories
