Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This question is referring to the capacity of short-term memory, which is limited to about 5 to 9 items and can be held for a maximum of 15-18 seconds. Sensory memory is very briefly held for a fraction of a second, long-term memory is a more permanent storage system, and episodic memory is a type of long-term memory that involves remembering specific experiences or events.
