Chapter 7 on memory

To understand the three processing phases of memory, consider that right now you are reading the information in this textbook. Presumably, you are trying to remember the information. In the encoding phase, your brain changes information—for example, what you see on the page when you are reading this text—into a meaningful neural code that it can use (Figure 7.2, Step 1). The storage phase is how you maintain the coded representation in a network of neurons in the brain. Storage can last a fraction of a second or as long as a lifetime. In retrieval, the third phase of memory, you re-access the information. Think of this phase as bringing to your mind a previously encoded and stored memory when it is needed, just as answers to an exam.
