The Memory is Encoded, storage and retrieved.
- During encoding process , information is stored as what the
perception and sensation leave its representation on the memory.The
information is encoded through visual (picture) , acoustic (sound)
and semantic ( meaning).
- Storage: In this stage the information is retained in the
memory.It is latent , available for use.
- Retrieval: Information is retrieved/ reminded back from the
memory.In other words, the stored traces of perception is used for
any action or knowledge. Ex:during a lecture Tina learned that
formula of speed as the teacher depicted the content by videos and
calculation examples (encoding), she learnt the same in the other
few days by oral recapitulation etc (storage).After a month or so,
she was travelling with her mother and to calculate the time to
reach a destination , she used the information that she learned in
the science class (retrieval).
Good Luck!
