Understanding Memory Process :-

The Information Processing Model suggest that memory is complex and consist of various processes and stages.

3 types of Memory :

1. Sensory memory
2. Short-Term Memory
3. Long-Term Memory

 SENSORY MEMORY (SM)

• Memory pertaining to the storage of temporary information carried by senses.
• Is temporary.
• If paying attention, the information will be processed inside the Short-term Memory (STM).
• Otherwise, it will disappear immediately.

SHORT-TERM MEMORY (STM)

• This process allows information to be stored within 30 seconds up to 24 hours.
• This happens because the limitation of storing information is limited. Some information will enter the long-term memory system if it is given concentration and is repeated many times.
• The information that is still stored in short-term memory will disappear.

LONG-TERM MEMORY (LTM)

• Memory of an information over a long time.
• In fact, this memory remains until the end of a person’s life, but depending on the person’s ability to recall the information from the memory store.

1. Encoding
2. Storage
3. Retrieval
