  2. Encoding (memory) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Encoding_(memory)

    This allows data to be conveyed in the short term, without consolidating anything for permanent storage. From here a memory or an association may be chosen to become a long-term memory, or forgotten as the synaptic connections eventually weaken. The switch from short to long-term is the same concerning both implicit memory and explicit memory.

  3. Memory and retention in learning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory_and_Retention_in...

    Short-term memory is responsible for retaining and processing information very temporarily. It is the information that we are currently aware of thinking about. [2]: 13 Short term memory is also known as the working memory. The storage capacity and duration of short-term memory is very limited; information can be lost easily with distraction. [2]

  4. Short-term memory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Short-term_memory

    Neither holds information for long, but short-term memory is a simple store, while working memory allows it to be manipulated. [17] Short-term memory is part of working memory, but is not the same thing. Working memory refers to structures and processes used for temporarily storing and manipulating information.

  5. Storage (memory) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Storage_(memory)

    Short-term memory is encoded in auditory, visual, spatial, and tactile forms. Short-term memory is closely related to working memory.Baddeley suggested that information stored in short-term memory continuously deteriorates, which can eventually lead to forgetting in the absence of rehearsal. [1]

  6. Memorization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memorization

    Memorization (British English: memorisation) is the process of committing something to memory. It is a mental process undertaken in order to store in memory for later recall visual, auditory, or tactical information. The scientific study of memory is part of cognitive neuroscience, an interdisciplinary link between cognitive psychology and ...

  7. Working memory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Working_memory

    The term short-term store was the name previously used for working memory. Other suggested names were short-term memory, primary memory, immediate memory, operant memory, and provisional memory. [8] Short-term memory is the ability to remember information over a brief period (in the order of seconds). Most theorists today use the concept of ...

  8. Measurement of memory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Measurement_of_memory

    Short-term memory has limited capacity and is often referred to as "working-memory", however these are not the same. Working memory involves a different part of the brain and allows you to manipulate it after initial storage. The information that travels from sensory memory to short-term memory must pass through the Attention gateway. The ...

  9. Mnemonist - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mnemonist

    In encoding, information is encoded in terms of knowledge structures through meaningful associations. This may initially involve breaking down long lists into more manageable chunks that fall within the capacity of short term memory. Verbal reports of memory experts show a consistent grouping of three or four.
