Sensory memory is a short-term memory that preserves information in the original sensory form for a brief period, usually only a fraction of a second. It is different from working memory, which is a limited-capacity store that can maintain unrehearsed information for up to about 20 seconds, and long-term memory, which is an unlimited capacity store that can hold information over lengthy periods of time.
