Q

Encoding failure: three stage processing model 

A

Inputs -> sensory memory -> working memory <-> long term memory
(Working memory -> long term memory is encoding, going the other way is retrieval)
There are many senses that are constantly impacting you at one moment, and that’s why we have the sensory memory
The sensory memory, is like a filter, it tells us what senses we should focus on
