Memory Fundamentals

Memory is a fundamental cognitive process that allows individuals to encode, store, and retrieve information. It serves as the foundation for learning, decision-making, and personal identity. Human memory can be broadly classified into three types: sensory memory, short-term memory, and long-term memory. Sensory memory captures sensory information for a brief period, enabling us to perceive the world around us. Short-term memory, also known as working memory, temporarily holds and manipulates information for immediate use. Long-term memory involves the storage of information over extended periods, potentially lasting a lifetime. This intricate system of memory formation, consolidation, and retrieval is essential for our everyday experiences, shaping who we are and how we interact with the world.
