Sensory memory is the first stage of memory and involves briefly registering a large amount of information from the senses. It acts as a "snapshot" of the environment, allowing focus on relevant details. There are three stages of memory: sensory memory, short-term memory, and long-term memory. Sensory memory is very brief but holds a large amount of information. It transmits some of what is sensed to short-term memory. Types of sensory memory include visual, auditory, and touch memory.

What is sensory memory?
Sensory memory is a very short-term, but large capacity
memory source. It is the start of your memory. It’s when you take in
everything around you before transmitting a portion of what you see to short-
term memory.
It is often thought of as the first stage of memory that involves registering a
tremendous amount of information about the environment.

5. How Does Sensory Memory Work?
A common analogy for sensory memory is that the memories are your “raw
data” that your brain then processes to make sense and order.
During every moment of your existence, your senses are
constantly taking in an enormous amount of information about
what you see, feel, smell, hear, and taste.
Sensory memory creates something of
a quick "snapshot" of the world around
you, allowing you to briefly focus your
attention on relevant details.

6. An example could be when you read a word with your
eyes, yet recall how a person sounds when saying it.
