Memory,forgetting and intelligence



MEMORY
In psychology, memory is the process by which information is encoded, stored, and retrieved. Encoding allows information that is from the outside world to reach our senses in the forms of chemical and physical stimuli. Memory is one of the most important ways by which our histories animate our current actions and experiences. Memory is a source of knowledge and is close interactions between remembering, perceiving, and imagining.
Information processing has three main stages in the formation and retrieval of memory:
Encoding or registration:  This refers to receiving, processing and combining of received information.
Storage: refers to the retention of information, which has been achieved through the encoding process, in the brain for a prolonged period of time until it is accessed through recall.
Retrieval, recall or recollection: refers to the retrieval of events or information from the past along with encoding and storage.
Principally there are three types of memory  namely sensory memory,short term memory and long term memory as discussed below.
