Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Workbench memory, also known as short-term memory, has a limited capacity and can only hold a small amount of information for a brief period of time before it is either transferred to long-term memory or forgotten. Option A is incorrect because workbench memory is not unlimited, and option C is incorrect because it requires attention to be processed. Option D is incorrect because workbench memory uses acoustic coding, not semantic coding.
