Short-term

Explanation:

Short-term memory is the ability to remember a little piece of information for a short time in a promptly available state.

Remembering a 5-digit password that has just been heard, such as in Maya´s friend´s case, is the perfect example of applying short-term memory. According to Atkinson and Shiffrin theory (1971), without preparation or active maintenance, short-term memory´s duration is between 15 and 30 seconds.
