Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The type of consolidation that occurs over a time scale of seconds to minutes is known as synaptic consolidation. This involves the transfer of memory from short-term memory (also known as working memory) to long-term memory. Sensory memory is the initial stage of memory processing and is not involved in consolidation. The cortex and hippocampus are involved in the consolidation process, but not in this specific time frame.
