What is memory?

Memory is essentially the capacity for storing and retrieving information. Three processes are
involved in memory: encoding, storage, and retrieval. All three of these processes determine
whether something is remembered or forgotten.

Name the four types of encoding.

1 Structural encoding – (focuses on what words look like for instance, one might note whether words
are long or short, in uppercase or lowercase, or handwritten or typed.)

2 phonemic encoding (focuses on how words sound.)

3 visual encoding (It is the process of encoding images and visual sensory information for instance it
would be easier to remember the word car than to remember the word truth.

4 semantic encoding (Semantic encoding is a way of remembering things by understanding their
meaning. When we try to remember something, we think about what it represents, like the objects
and actions associated with it)
