Q

What is a sensory register?

A

This is the information at the senses. Information is retained for a very brief period by the sensory registers. We are only able to hold accurate images of sensory information momentarily (less than half a second). the capacity of sensory memory is very large, such as all the cells on the retina on the eye. The method of coding depends on the sense organ involved - visual for the eyes, acoustic for the ears, etc.
