Quote: Typists make extensive use of the sensory register in order to remember words just long enough to get them typed. If no further processing takes place, a typist’s ability to recall that information later is minimal. similarly, most of us have had the experience of reading an entire page of text, only to discover when we got to the bottom of the page, we couldn’t say anything about it except that we had indeed “read” every word.
Typists make the most of the sensory area to remember words long enough to help them type. If no other processes are taking place, the likelihood of them recalling the information afterward is minimal. Likewise, most of us when we read a whole page, only to see what’s at the end of the page, we can’t tell anything about it unless we read it word for word.
Thus, it can be seen that in order to recall information, the information must be important enough to remember, otherwise it will be forgotten → the correct answer is answer D
