Gaven Mills · Answer 1

When you hear a phone number and write it down, your brain uses short term memory. Short-term memory (or "primary" or "active memory") is the capacity for holding, but not manipulating, a small amount of information in mind in an active, readily available state for a short period of time.

Elijah Watts · Answer 2

Short term memory

Explanation:

Short-term memory refers to the things that people are thinking about in the moment and that are available during a small period as it has a limit to what you can hold. According to this, when you hear a number and write it down your brain uses short-term memory because it is a recent event that you remember in the moment but that you will forget after a period of time.
