There are three types of memory: sensory memory, short-term memory and long-term memory and all of them have a different role. Mastin (2010b) summarised that the sensory memory is the shortest term stores sensory information which received through the five senses of sight, hearing, smell, taste and touch but only for an instant. For example, the image of a person on the screen of a TV may remain in the mind a few seconds even when it is switched off, or a voice that we just heard. Some information can be deliberately ignored or perceived in our sensory memory, but it is out of the conscious control, indeed, the brain is controlling the receiving and storing sensory information. Sensory memory consists of three main types, Iconic memory for the visual information, echoic memory for the auditory information and haptic memory represents the information from touch. When paying attention and concentrating on one aspect, the information is passed from the sensory memory into short-term memory. Mastin (2010c) explains that the short-term memory focuses on the recent events or information, which can hold the information quite longer than the
