Process of Memory: There are three stages of memory

Encoding process: It is the process of receiving sensory input and transforming it into a form or code, which can be stored.

Storage: It is the process of actually putting coded information into memory. There are three systems of memory storage

Sensory memory: It holds information from the external world in its original sensory form for fraction of a second to few seconds. Information is quickly lost if not transferred into short term or long term memory.

Short-term memory: It is a limited capacity memory system in which information is retained for only as long as 30 seconds unless strategies are used to retain it longer.

Long-term memory: It is a relatively permanent type of memory that stores huge amount of information for a long time. Long-term memory is further divided into explicit and implicit memory.
