Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Long-term memory has an almost unlimited storage capacity, whereas working memory can only hold a limited amount of information for a short period of time (seconds to minutes) and sensory memory holds information for a very brief period of time (milliseconds to seconds). Time-based memory is not a recognized term in psychology.
