Control processes: active processes that can be controlled by the person and may differ from one task to another. Rehearsal: repeating a stimulus over and over. Encoding: process of storing information in long term memory. Retrieval: process of remembering information that is stored in long term memory. Long term memory is essential for storing information but before we can become aware of this stored information, it must be moved back into stm. Sensory memory: the retention for brief periods of time, of the effects of sensory stimulation. Persistence of vision: retention of the perception of light in your mind.
