Document Summary

Encoding refers to getting information into the system by translating it into a neural code that your brain processes. Retrieval is the final stage where the information is pulled out of storage when we want to use it. All three represent what our memory system does with information and they could not take place without memory having some type of organization or structure. Sensory memory holds incoming sensory information just long enough for it to be recognized. Composed of different subsystems called sensory registers which are the initial information processors. Our visual sensory register is called the iconic store the time course for visual sensory memory is brief (fraction of a second) Short term memory holds the information that we are conscious of at any given time. Also referred to as working memory because it consciously processes codes and works on information.
