It means that the memory of the being only lasts for 30 seconds, so something could happen and after 30 seconds, it would be forgotten like it never happened. The memory resets every 30 seconds.
If you see a green pencil on the floor but it isn't important to you, you will remember it if somebody says something about it to you within 30 seconds but if they wait a minute, you won't know what they are talking about. If you say something about the green pencil, you will probably remember it longer because it isn't in your short term memory, it's in a longer term memory because it is more important to you.
if you have seen finding nemo, dory will be talking to you one second then completely forget the next, well thats how short term memory people are. they cannot remember anything that happened prior to 30 seconds ago.
not exactly sure what it means when you are talking about memory , but I do know that when you are talking about " duration "..you are talking about how long something lasts ....
Example :....the sun in the summer is longer in duration than the sun in the winter ..
