Sensory memory -- the most basic and primitive, but crucial to survive, this is based on stimuli receive in the first 200-500 milliseconds after an event. This memory degraded very quickly and is rather unreliable.
Short-Term memory allows recall from a few seconds to a few minutes but with liquid capacity, Short-term memory can be improved by cramming data, but may also be quite unreliable.
Long-Term Memory/Recall -- This is the human capacity to stare lots of information in certain parts of the brain that allow…
