Short-term and long-term memory are more relevant to everyday chores than sensory memory. Sensory memory only holds information for a very short period (usually seconds) and is quickly replaced by new sensory input. Short-term memory allows us to hold onto information for a brief time (several seconds to a minute) before it is either forgotten or transferred to long-term memory. Long-term memory is responsible for storing information that we can recall at a later time (minutes, hours, or even years later). These two types of memory are essential for completing everyday tasks, such as remembering a shopping list, following a recipe, or navigating through a new neighborhood.
