Question
Shira prepared for her science test on Wednesday evening. She made a 100 on the test on Thursday. The following week, her teacher had the students write a paragraph about the information from the test. Shira sat and stared blankly at her paper, unable to remember the information. Which part of Shira's memory did the information make it to?Question 6Select one:A.sensory register.B.long-term memory.C.It never got into the memory system at all.D.working memory.
Solution
The information from Shira's test made it to her "D. working memory." Working memory is a part of short-term memory that allows us to hold and manipulate information in our minds over brief periods. Shira was able to remember the information for her test the next day, but not the following week, suggesting that the information did not make it into her long-term memory.
