What to Focus On

  • Memory involves three processes: encoding, storage, and retrieval.
  • Encoding is how we take in information.
  • Storage is how and where we keep it.
  • Sensory memory holds information for less than a second.
  • Short-term memory lasts 20–30 seconds and holds 7±2 items.
  • Long-term memory stores unlimited information for long periods.
  • Decay: Memories fade with time.
  • Interference: Old or new memories block each other.
  • Sleep is essential for memory consolidation.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Short-term memory and long-term memory differ only in how long they store information.

Sensory memory is not a real type of memory because it lasts less than a second.

Forgetting happens only because memories decay over time.
