Hi guys, I'm kind of confused with the definitions of all of the answer choices, which may stem from confusion between short term/working memory as well. I thought that the distinction between the 2 is that short term = info you take in from surroundings (ex. you see the math problem 1+1) and working = when you start thinking/manipulating that data (you think about how 1+1 = 2). I can definitely see why B is correct, but I don't understand why C can't also be correct. I've looked online for the differences and some people are saying that short term memory = iconic and echoic memory, is that not the same as sensory memory?
