2short Q&A pairs drawn directly from our worked dot-point answer. For full context and worked exam questions, read the parent dot-point page.

What are the three processes?
Show answer
All memory models rest on three processes. Encoding is converting information into a usable form (acoustic, visual or semantic). Storage is retaining that information over time. Retrieval is recovering stored information when it is needed, either by recall (producing it) or recognition (identifying it).
What is brain structures of memory?
Show answer
Memory is not stored in one place; different structures support different memory types.
