Iconic memory, for example, holds visual information for approximately 250 milliseconds. [7] The SM is made up of spatial or categorical stores of different kinds of information, each subject to different rates of information processing and decay. The visual sensory store has a relatively high capacity, with the ability to hold up to 12 items. [8]
Grunge lit (an abbreviation for "grunge literature") is an Australian literary genre usually applied to fictional or semi-autobiographical writing concerned with dissatisfied and disenfranchised [1] young people living in suburban or inner-city surroundings, or in "in-between" spaces that fall into neither category (e.g., living in a mobile ...
Sensory memory holds information, derived from the senses, less than one second after an item is perceived. The ability to look at an item and remember what it looked like with just a split second of observation, or memorization, is an example of sensory memory. It is out of cognitive control and is an automatic response.
For example, enhanced theta activity has been observed during successful memory retrieval, suggesting its involvement in encoding and recollection of music-evoked autobiographical memories. EEGs have a hard time localizing the signals they receive from the brain which brings forth a limitation of being unable to capture information in a precise ...

A personal-event memory is an individual's memory of an event from a certain moment of time. Its defining characteristics are that it is for a specific event; includes vivid multi-sensory elements (sights, sounds, smells, body positions, etc.); is usually recalled in detail; and is usually believed by the individual to be an accurate representation of the event.
Sensory memory is made up of a brief storage of information within a specific medium (the line you see after waving a sparkler in your field of vision is created by sensory memory). [4] Short term memory is made up of the information currently in use to complete the task at hand. [4] Long term memory is composed of the systems used to store ...
