What are the different types of memory and their characteristics?
Sensory memory
Short-term memory
Long-term memory
Sensory memory is the storage of information received from the senses, without any processing or transformation of the stimulus.
Short-term memory depends on momentary attention and can retain between five and nine units of information for a duration of up to 10 seconds.
Long-term memory requires effort and consolidation, and can store information indefinitely.
