A memory-span task, as described in the scenario, involves the presentation of a short list of stimuli at a rapid pace, followed by a prompt for immediate recall. This is a classic example of a short-term memory task, also known as working memory, which involves the temporary storage and manipulation of information for a brief period of time. Long-term memory, on the other hand, refers to the more permanent storage of information over an extended period of time. The answer is therefore A) short-term.
