C. we would become overloaded by the amount of incoming information
D. it would ultimately destroy cortical neurons
E. sensory memory would be able to hold more information
Answer (3)
C. we would become overloaded by the amount of incoming information ;
If sensory memories were to last longer than normal, it would lead to **an overload of incoming information, **making it difficult to process and remember important details. ;
The correct answer is C: "we would become overloaded by the amount of incoming information." If sensory memories lasted longer, our ability to focus on essential information would be impaired due to an excess of stimuli. This could overwhelm the brain, disrupting the natural filtering process it relies on to manage sensory input efficiently.
