Introduction to Memory Practice Test

Sensory memory, because brief visual and auditory traces last several minutes unless rehearsal actively transfers them into long-term storage.

Short-term memory, because unrehearsed information typically lasts about 15–30 seconds and is vulnerable to interference from mental tasks.

Procedural (implicit) memory, because motor skills are stored automatically and resist interference from competing verbal tasks like counting backward.

Long-term memory, because consolidation requires immediate rehearsal and otherwise stored information decays within seconds after initial encoding.
