Question

write the main idea of the following paragraph: Your memory operates through three stages to take in, sort, and store information for later use. Encoding is the first stage, during which ideas are processed through your five senses. During the storage stage, information is either discarded or sorted and then retained briefly in short-term memory or transferred into long-term memory, where it may become permanent. Retrieval, the third stage of memory, allows you to recall stored ideas and images. So, if you do not recollect a stored idea in your mind after encoding, your mind forgets it after a short lapse.​
