Memory refers to the processes that are use to acquire, store, retain, and later retrieve information.
Human memory involves the ability to both preserve and recover information we have learne or experience. As we all know, however, this is not a flawless process. Sometimes we forget or misremember things. Sometimes things are not properly encoded in memory in the first place.
Memory problems can range from minor annoyances like forgetting where you left your car keys to major diseases.
The study of human memory has been a subject of science and philosophy for thousands of years. And has become one of the major topics of interest within cognitive psychology.
In order to form new memories, information must be changed into a usable form. Which occurs through the process known as encoding. Once the information has been successfully encode. It must be store in memory for later use.
Much of this stored memory lies outside of our awareness most of the time, except when we actually need to use it. The retrieval process allows us to bring stored memories into conscious awareness.
Short-term memories are a bit longer and last about 20 to 30 seconds. These memories mostly consist of the information we are currently focusing on and thinking about.
Finally, some memories are capable of enduring much longer, lasting days, weeks, months, or even decades. Most of these long-term memories lie outside of our immediate awareness. But we can draw them into consciousness when they are need.
