The activated portion of long-term memory is called :

  • A.Declarative memory
  • B.Working memory
  • C.Sensory memory
  • D.Procedural memory

Answer: B

The activated portion of long-term memory is working memory.

In views such as Cowan's embedded-processes model, working memory is the part of long-term memory that is currently activated, with a small focus of attention within it. Information is held and manipulated there while it is in use, for example during reasoning or mental arithmetic.

Declarative and procedural memory are divisions of long-term memory by type of content (facts and events versus skills), not by activation. Sensory memory is the very brief store of raw sensory input that precedes short-term processing.
