The Science of Memory
- Encoding - the stage when the brain consciously acknowledges information based on our senses. When we attach meaning or factual knowledge to any of this sensory input, that's called semantic encoding which makes us retain memories longer.
- Storage - it is when information is stored in different areas of the brain, thanks to the neurons that connect every time we perceive information.
- Recall - when our brain "replays" or revisits our memory even though it is not as exact as the first one.
