Memory

Memory is a function of the brain: the ability to retain information. Memory is much studied by cognitive psychology and neuroscience. There are multiple types of classifications for memory based on duration, nature and retrieval of perceived items. The main stages in the formation and retrieval of memory, (from an information processing perspective) are:

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

• Encoding (processing and combining of received information)
• Storage (creation of a permanent record of the encoded information)
• Retrieval/Recall (calling back the stored information in response to some cue for use in some process or activity)
