Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Short-term memory is characterized by immediate storage, rapid retrieval, and transient modifications in functions. It is often limited in capacity and the information held in short-term memory is not permanently forgotten, but rather transferred to long-term memory or lost through decay or interference. Therefore, option B, which states "large capacity," is the characteristic that does not describe short-term memory.
