How does memory function?
Information is processed, which is the first stage of the process and then information is stored, such as in either short term or long term memory. When a memory is needed, the information is recalled and without this process we would forget the information. The size of a memory is called its capacity and the duration is how long the memory lasts within that store. Finally, there is a focus on the encoding, which is the form in which the information is stored.
