Jamaal has to make an important phone call. Unfortunately, his cell phone is not charged so he has to use his landline which does not store phone numbers. To make the call he has to get the numbers from his cell phone and remember it long enough to dial it on his landline. For this task, which memory is most important?
A
working memory
B
long-term memory
C
flashbulb memory
D
echoic memory
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Stages of Memory Creation The brain has three types of memory processes: sensory register, short-term memory, and long-term memory.

Detailed explanation-2: -Short-term Memory: activated memory that holds a few items (7 + or-2) briefly (about 30 seconds), such as the 7 digits of a telephone number while dialing, before the information is stored or forgotten.

Detailed explanation-3: -Encoding. Processing information into memory is called encoding. People automatically encode some types of information without being aware of it. For example, most people probably can recall where they ate lunch yesterday, even though they didn’t try to remember this information.

Detailed explanation-4: -In order for a memory to go into storage (i.e., long-term memory), it has to pass through three distinct stages: Sensory Memory, Short-Term Memory, and finally Long-Term Memory. These stages were first proposed by Richard Atkinson and Richard Shiffrin (1968).
