Explanation:

Question 15

Sensory registers (like iconic memory for visual info) have very short - term storage. New visual information coming in replaces the old in the sensory register. Not rehearsing is related to short - term memory (STM) decay, contradicting STM info isn't how sensory register info is lost, and scrambling with auditory info isn't the main way visual sensory register info is lost. So the correct option is the one about being replaced by new information.

Short - term memory (STM) is the part of memory where we hold information we are currently thinking about or conscious of. Long - term memory is for stored info over time, secondary memory is similar to long - term, and cognitive dissonance is about conflicting beliefs/attitudes, not consciousness - related memory. So the correct option is short - term memory.

Chunking is the process of taking individual pieces of information and grouping them into larger, meaningful units to help with memory. It's not about forgetting irrelevant details, arranging in a hierarchy, or directly strengthening long - term memories (though it can aid in moving to long - term). So the correct option is organizing information into meaningful units.

Answer:

A. Is replaced by new information
