Psychology and Human Behavior

Sensory memory in humans is very short-term and lasts approximately 200-500 milliseconds after an individual perceives an object. Suppose the length of time (in milliseconds) an object remains in sensory memory for a randomly selected adult has an exponential distribution with λ = 0.003. A flashing grid of letters is displayed to a randomly selected adult and the sensory memory is measured.
