Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Short-term memory can retain information for a few seconds. Perceptual memory refers to the ability to recognize familiar stimuli quickly and lasts for milliseconds. The dorsal and ventral streams refer to visual processing pathways in the brain and are not directly related to memory retention. Long-term memory can last for days, weeks, or even decades. Therefore, option B is the correct answer.
