Parallel processing - CORRECT ANSWER-the processing of many aspects of a problem simultaneously; the brain's natural mode of information processing for many functions, including vision; contrasts with the step-by-step (serial) processing of most computers and of conscious problem solving. Sensory memory - CORRECT ANSWER-the immediate, very brief recording of sensory information in the memory system Short-term memory - CORRECT ANSWER-activated memory that holds a few items briefly, such as the seven digits of a phone number while dialing, before the information is stored or forgotten.
