• Memory

• Conditioning

• Introspection

• Insight

Before we can memorize information, first our brain has to organize it as it comes in from our senses. This is:

• Echoic

• Semantic

• Working

This type of encoding allows us to make meaningful connections between concepts in order to remember them better.

• Iconic

• Semantic

• Echoic

• Auditory

Information that we are currently thinking about, whether it's just been encoded or pulled from our long term memory, is handled by the:
