The three phases of the human memory are the sensory memory, the short-term memory, and the long-term 
memory. This division of the memory into phases is based on the length of time of the memory. 
Sensory memory is instantaneous memory. It is an image or memory that enters your mind only for a short 
period of time; it comes and goes in under a second. The memory will not last longer than that unless the 
information enters the short-term memory. 
Information can be held in the short-term memory for about twenty seconds or as long as you are actively 
using it. If you repeat a fact to yourself, that fact will stay in your short-term memory as long as you keep 
repeating it. Once you stop repeating it, either it is forgotten or it moves into long term memory. Long-term 
memory is the huge memory tank that can hold ideas and images for years and years. 
Information can be added to your long-term memory when you actively try to put it there through 
memorization or when an idea or image enters your mind on its own. 
Question 36. The best title for this passage would be ______. 
A. Human Phases 
B. The Difference between Sensory and Short-Term Memory
