Ined .
(1) the three types of human memory allow a person to remove or retain information, as needed. (2) everything that we notice—see, smell, hear, or touch—forms a brief mental impression called a sensory memory. (3) information is stored in this sensory memory for only a few tenths of a second before it disappears forever. (4) information that is retained for slightly longer enters what’s called short-term memory. (5) this form of memory can store about seven items for about thirty seconds—about enough information to dial a telephone number. (6) in order to be remembered for a long period, information must pass into long-term memory. (7) no one knows just how much information can be stored in a person’s long-term memory, but the capacity seems enormous.
