Sensory memory is the initial stage of memory that holds information for a very brief period.

Short-term memory has a limited capacity and can hold information for about 20-30 seconds.

Long-term memory is the stage of memory that has a relatively unlimited capacity.

Sensory memory helps in processing information from the external world.

Long-term memory stores information for an extended period, potentially a lifetime.

Rehearsal is a strategy used to transfer information from short-term memory to long-term memory.

Chunking is a technique where information is grouped into meaningful units to aid memory.

Short-term memory is responsible for holding information needed for immediate tasks.

Long-term memory is the stage where memories become relatively permanent.

Sensory memory has an unlimited capacity.

Short-term memory can hold information for an unlimited duration.

Long-term memory is the shortest stage of memory.

Sensory memory is not involved in processing information from the environment.

Short-term memory is only important for long-term storage.

Long-term memory has a limited capacity, similar to short-term memory.

Rehearsal is not necessary for transferring information to long-term memory.

Memories in long-term memory are not permanent.

The capacity of short-term memory is unlimited.

1. Sensory memory is the final stage where information is stored.
