Question

Jose was surprised that he remembered his locker combination from last year. it shouldn't have been a surprise because he used that locker combination for an entire school year. in comparing the types of memory, which form is jose using in this example?

a. sensory memory
b. short term memory
c. long term memory
d. storage

Answer 1

The correct answer would be C. Joe is using the long term memory. This type of memory is maintained or can be hold for a very long period of time. It is any memory that you remember that happened earlier or a few minutes ago. Short term is known to last only for about 18 to 30 seconds only so it should be the long term memory that is working.
