Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Echoic memory is a type of sensory memory, which refers to the brief retention of sensory information that is brought in through our senses. Iconic memory, on the other hand, is a type of sensory memory that specifically refers to the brief retention of visual information. Short-term memory and long-term memory are separate types of memory from sensory memory. Semantic memory refers to our long-term memory system for facts and general knowledge about the world.
