4. How Does Sensory Memory Work? A common analogy for sensory memory is that the memories are your “raw data” that your brain then processes to make sense and order. During every moment of your existence, your senses are constantly taking in an enormous amount of information about what you see, feel, smell, hear, and taste. Sensory memory creates something of  a quick " snapshot " of the world around you, allowing you to briefly focus your  attention on relevant details.
