Assalamualaikum everyone!
Today, as a revision for final exam, we would like to talk on sensory memory. What is SENSORY MEMORY?
--------------> sensory memory is the ability to retain the sensory information after the original stimulus has ceased.
The information in sensory memory only can retain for a very short time about a few seconds. Sensory memory received the information from our five senses.
---------------> there are two types of sensory memory; echoic and iconic memory. Echoic is specifically involved in processing auditory information. Whereas, iconic is uniquely used for processing visual information. Echoic memory can lasts for several seconds, but the iconic memory can lasts for only a fraction of a second. Iconic memory is responsible to create a visual image portrayed in the brain.
So, as a conclusion sensory memory is very important for our memory processes. This memory allow our brain to be aware or cautious of what is happening in our environment.
