the persistence of learning over time through the storage and retrieval of information

• memory
• storage
• retrieval

the processing of information into the memory system

• encoding
• automatic processing
• anterograde amnesia

the relatively permanent and limitless storehouse of the memory system; includes knowledge, skills, and experiences

• long-term memory
• proactive interference
• implicit memory

the processing of many aspects of a problem simultaneously; the brain's natural mode of information processing for many functions. Contrasts with the step-by-step (serial) processing of most computers and of conscious problem solving.

• parallel processing
• priming
• recognition

the process of getting information out of memory storage

• retrieval
• working memory
• relearning

the immediate, very brief recording of sensory information in the memory system

• sensory memory
• chunking
• storage

activated memory that holds a few items briefly before the information is stored or forgotten

• short-term memory
• parallel processing
• memory

the retention of encoded information over time

• storage
• retroactive interference
• implicit memory

unconscious encoding of incidental information, such as space time, and frequency, and of well-learned information, such as word meanings.

• automatic processing
• misinformation effect
• hippocampus

encoding that requires attention and conscious effort.

• effortful processing
• relearning
• anterograde amnesia
