Detailed explanation-1: -One of the most common examples of sensory memory is the use of a sparkler, which is a handheld firework. When you hold the firework in your hand and move it in different patterns, your eyes perceive a line or trail of light.
Detailed explanation-2: -There are three types of sensory memory: echoic memory, iconic memory, and haptic memory. Iconic memory retains information that is gathered through sight, echoic memory retains information gathered through auditory stimuli and haptic memory retains data acquired through touch.
Detailed explanation-3: -Sensory memory is the perception of sight, hearing, smell, taste, and touch information entering through the sensory cortices of the brain and relaying through the thalamus. It lasts only milliseconds and is mostly outside conscious awareness.
Detailed explanation-4: -Sensory memory is a very brief memory that allows people to retain impressions of sensory information after the original stimulus has ceased. It is often thought of as the first stage of memory that involves registering a tremendous amount of information about the environment, but only for a very brief period.
