Memory is the learning that has persisted overtime through encoding storage and retrieval. Measures of memory: recall tasks, recognition, relearning.

Sensory store: has sub division where info goes depending on the type of info (visual = iconic (1/4 second), auditory = echoic (3-4 seconds): can hold a great deal of info but only for a very short. Extra words bump out/displace random of the 7 words.
