CHILD DEVELOPMENT PEDAGOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Instead, your sensory memory creates something of a quick “snapshot” of the world around you, allowing you to briefly focus your attention on relevant details. So just how brief is a sensory memory? Experts suggest that these memories last for three seconds or less.

Detailed explanation-2: -Sensory memory consists of sensory information retained in an unprocessed form in the sensory system through which it entered. This form of memory is short lived (0.5–3 seconds) but has a large capacity.

Detailed explanation-3: -The “short enough” is the length of iconic memory, which turns out to be about 250 milliseconds (1/4 of a second). Auditory sensory memory is known as echoic memory. In contrast to iconic memories, which decay very rapidly, echoic memories can last as long as four seconds (Cowan, Lichty, & Grove, 1990).

Detailed explanation-4: -Which of the following is true of sensory memory? Sensory memory holds information within time frames of a fraction of a second to several seconds.

Detailed explanation-5: -Sensory memory holds sensory information for very brief periods of time, usually 1 second or less. The processing of memories and other information begins in this type of memory. If a person pays attention to sensory input, then the information may move into short-term and then long-term memory.
