Main memory has 3 distinct parts. What are they?
Answers
The three main stages of memory are encoding, storage, and retrieval. Problems can occur at any of these stages.
The three main forms of memory storage are sensory memory, short-term memory, and long-term memory.
Sensory memory is not consciously controlled; it allows individuals to retain impressions of sensory information after the original stimulus has ceased.
Short-term memory lasts for a very brief time and can only hold 7 +/- 2 pieces of information at once.
Long-term storage can hold an indefinitely large amount of information and can last for a very long time.
Implicit and explicit memories are two different types of long-term memory. Implicit memories are of sensory and automatized behaviors, and explicit memories are of information, episodes, or events.
