Question
Answer
encoding   the processing of infroamtion into the memroy system, for example by extracting meaning  
🗑
storage   the retention of encoded information over time  
🗑
retrieval   the process of getting information out of memory storage  
🗑
long term memory   the relatively permanent and limitless storehouse of the memory system  
🗑
short term memory   activated memory that holds a few items briefly, such as the seven digits of a phone number while dialing before the information is stored or forgotten  
🗑
automatic procssing   unconscious encoding of incidental ifnoramtion, such as space, time, and freuqnecy and of well learned information such as word meanings  
🗑
effortful processing   encoding the requires attention and conscious effort  
🗑
rehearsal   the conscious repetition of infroamtion, either to maintain it in consciousness or to encode it for storage CONSCIOUS REPETITION  
🗑
semantic encoding   the encoding of meaning, including the meaning of words  
🗑
acoustic encoding   the encoding of sound, especially the sound of words  
🗑
visual encoding   the encoding of picture images  
🗑
imagery   mentalpicutres, a powerful aid to effortful processing especialyl when combinated with semantic encoding  
🗑

🗑
sensory memory   the immediate, initial recoridn go sensory inforamtion in the memory system  
🗑
iconic memory   a momentary sensory memory of visual stimuli, a photographic or pciure-imge memory lasting no more than a few tenths of a second
