Memory: the mental system for receiving, encoding, storing, organizing, altering, and retrieving information. Encoding: converting information into a form in which it will be retained in memory. Storage: holding information in memory for later use. Sensory memory: the first, normally unconscious stage of memory, which holds an exact record of incoming information for a few seconds or less. Iconic memory: a mental image or visual representation. Echoic memory: a brief continuation of sensory activity in the auditory system after a sound is heard. Short-term memory (stm): the memory system used to hold small amounts of information in our conscience awareness for about a dozen seconds; tend to be encoded by sound and are sensitive to interruption.
