Sensory memory is an initial process of storing information that is perceived through senses. It is very temporary and is replaced by our senses' continuous work. You can't remember what you saw clearly as a whole page.

Short-term memory, active memory, is an ability of storing information for a short time, but longer than sensory memory. Paying attention to the sensory memory generates information in short-term memory. This can last from 20-30 seconds.

Long-term memory is also called, preconscious or unconscious memory. We aren't usually consciously aware of it, but if it is needed, we take out this information from the long-term memory like picking out a book from a library to get some information.

Dennis, your answers are clearly written and it really helps me understand what sensory, short-term and long-term memories are. Sensory memory is constantly replaced by our senses, and therefore lasts only for a small period of time. Short term memory is limited in capacity and limited in duration compared to long term memory that is unlimited in capacity and may have a lifetime duration. However, short-term memory is capable of keeping memories longer than sensory memories. Most adults can store approximately 5-9 items in their short term memory that lasts about 15 to 30 seconds. Long term memory may be remembered for even more than 48 years, with 80% accuracy.
