Our brains take the encoded information and place it in storage. Storage is the creation of a permanent record of information. In order for a memory to go into storage (i.e., long-term memory), it has to pass through three distinct stages: Sensory Memory, Short-Term Memory, and finally Long-Term Memory. These stages were first proposed by ...

When information comes into our memory system (from sensory input), it needs to be changed into a form that the system can cope with so that it can be stored. Think of this as similar to changing your money into a different currency when you travel from one country to another. For example, a word that is seen (in a book) may be stored if it is chan...
This concerns the nature of memory stores, i.e., where the information is stored, how long the memory lasts (duration), how much can be stored at any time (capacity) and what kind of information is held. The way we store information affects the way we retrieve it. There has been a significant amount of research regarding the differences between Sho...
This refers to getting information out of storage. If we can’t remember something, it may be because we are unable to retrieve it. When we are asked to retrieve something from memory, the differences between STM and LTM become very clear. STM is stored and retrieved sequentially. For example, if a group of participants is given a list of words to r...
A large part of the research on memory is based on experimentsconducted in laboratories. Those who take part in the experiments – the participants – are asked to perform tasks such as recalling lists of words and numbers. Both the setting – the laboratory – and the tasks are a long way from everyday life. In many cases, the setting is artificial, a...

11 Memory Structure and Cognitive Maps. Sarah Robins, Sara Aronowitz, and Arjen Stolk. Go to: 11.1. Introduction. Over the course of any given day, we are exposed to vast amounts of information, and yet our memory systems are capable of encoding and later retrieving this information.

Encoding and storage: How our perceptions become memories. To be available in long-term memory, the information that we want to remember must be encoded, stored, and then retrieved. In this section, we will consider the types of processing we do of the information we want to remember.

Definition. Storage refers to the process of retaining and holding information in the brain after it has been learned. It is responsible for creating long-term memories and is influenced by factors like how we learn, how often we recall the information, and the emotions associated with it.
