Answer 1

1. **B) It is the brief storage of sensory information, lasting only a fraction of a second.** Sensory memory is a very short-term buffer for sensory information. It holds a nearly exact copy of the stimulus but decays very rapidly if not attended to.2. **C) Information is stored for a brief period, typically 15-30 seconds.** Short-term memory, also often referred to as working memory, has a limited capacity and duration. Without active rehearsal or processing, information fades quickly.
