Short-Term Memory: Short-term memory refers to the temporary storage of information that is actively being processed or attended to. It has a limited capacity and duration.
Encoding:Encoding is the process of converting sensory information into a form that can be stored and retrieved later. It involves transforming information into meaningful patterns or associations for better retention.
Consolidation:Consolidation is the process by which newly acquired memories are stabilized and strengthened in long-term memory. It involves transferring information from short-term memory to more permanent storage areas in the brain.
