After class, Anita and Bev make plans to study for their psychology exam together but cannot decide on a time or location. In addition, Anita realizes that she left her phone in her apartment. Anita and Bev change their mind and agree that it is easiest simply to meet at Bev's dorm. Bev gives Anita her room number and passcode. Anita likely will be able to retain this information in short-term memory, without additional processing, for:.a. a second or lessb. 30 seconds or lessc. about two minutesd. a maximum of five minutes

Option B; 30 SECONDS OR LESS.

Explanation:

Short-term memory, also known as primary or active memory, is the information we are currently aware of or thinking about.

When short-term memories are not rehearsed or actively maintained, they last mere seconds.

Most of the information kept in short-term memory will be stored for less than 30 seconds (approximately 20 to 30 seconds), but it can be just seconds if rehearsal or active maintenance of the information is not done.

Therefore, Anita likely will be able to retain the information in short-term memory, without additional processing, for 30 SECONDS OR LESS.
