As she was walking down the street, a lovely hat in a store window caught Evelyn's eye. She noted the purple lilac print and yellow lace ribbon circling the wide, tipped brim. By the time she got to the next block, Evelyn had forgotten about the hat.

Which of the following most likely played a role in this situation of forgetting?
a. divided attention
b. sensory memory
c. inhibitory loss
d. implicit memory

b. sensory memory

Explanation:

Based on the scenario being described within the question it can be said that the aspect that most likely played a role in this situation would be sensory memory. This is a type of memory with a very short life-cycle which allows individuals to hold on to sensory information after the original stimulus has ended, but only for a short moment. Which is what happened in this situation as Evelyn held on to the memory of what the hat looked like but only for a couple of moments.
