Document Summary
Memory: the persistence of learning over time through the storage and retrieval of information. Recall: a measure of memory in which the person must retrieve information learned earlier, as on a fill-in-the-blank test. Recognition: a measure of memory in which the person need only identify items previously learned, as on a multiple-choice test. Relearning: a measure of memory that assesses the amount of time saved when learning material again. Encoding: the processing of information into the memory system (for example, by extracting meaning) Storage: the retention of encoded information over time. Retrieval: the process of getting information out of memory stage. Sensory memory: the immediate, very brief recording of sensory information in the memory system. Short-term memory: activated memory that holds a few items briefly, such as seven digits of a phone number while dialing, before the information is stored or forgotten. Long-term memory: the relatively permanent and limitless storehouse of the memory system.
