Answer 1

Short term memory is the capability of holding the small information in the mind and it is available for a short duration without any manipulation.

In short term memory information is stores for 20 seconds and information lasts for a minute.

Example: When you read a novel book and you try to remember the details about it.

Long term memory is the process that includes a recollection of work that you have learned, recollecting the important date in a distant past. Long term memory retrieves the information from working memory and starts to change the mind's natural neural process and these new connections among the neurons and synapses remain long as it endures in a use.

Once the information stored in long term memory it remains for minutes to a lifetime.

Example: When we recollect the data and skills that will have learned in the job.

Sensory memory is the short memory that enables the people to remember the impressions of the sensory information after the original stimulus has ceases. Sensory memory performs a major role in receiving and processing the environmental influences from all the five senses.

Example:

When we look at an object briefly before it disappears and when the object gets disappear it still retained in the mind for a very short duration.
