Some memories are stored in terms of their meaning and really understanding the idea or memory. The strongest type of memroy.

• Visual
• Acoustic
• Semantic
• Tactile

The three stages of the memory process (in the correct order) are:

• Encoding, retrieval, storage
• Visual encoding, acoustic encoding, retrieval
• Encoding, storage, retrieval
• Encoding, recognition, retrieval

Information is most likely to go into our long term memory through:

• Inattention

• Rehearsal
• Singular Retrieval

• Sensory input

Being able to recall politician names at the start of a list refers to:
