Short-term memory, also known as working memory, refers to the temporary storage of information that lasts for a few seconds to a minute. This is where we hold information that we need to use immediately or in the near future. In this case, Shelly was able to remember the names of the new class members for only a minute or two, indicating that their names were stored in her short-term memory. Echoic memory refers to auditory sensory memory, iconic memory refers to visual sensory memory, and implicit memory refers to long-term memory for skills and habits that we are not consciously aware of.
