Document Summary
Three processes of memory define encoding, storage, and retrieval: models of memory define the information-processing model of memory, Memory is an active system to receives information from the senses, puts that information into a usable form, organizes it as it stores it away, then retrieves the information from storage. Encoding is the set of mental operations that people perform on sensory information to convert that information into a form that is usable in the brain"s storage systems. (sensory information a form that the brain can use) Storage is the process of holding on to the information for some period of time. Retrieval is getting the information out of storage. parallel distributed processing model of memory, and the levels of processing model of memory. The information-processing model focuses on the way information is handled, or processed through three different systems of memory. The processes of encoding, storage, and retrieval are seen as part of this model.
