Encoding

Transforming info into a form that can be entered and retained in memory system

Storage

Retaining info in memory so it can be used later

Retrieval

Recovering info stored in memory so that we are consciously aware of it

Sensory memory

Process for basic physical characteristics. Capacity is large and very brief retention (.3 for visual, .2 for audio). Iconic and echoic memory. Attention needed to transfer info to working nemory.

Iconic memory

Brief memory of image or icon. Visual sensory memory.

Echoic memory

Brief memory of sound or echo. Auditory sensory memory.
