How Memory Works:
Encoding, Storage, Retrieval
Human memory is not a tape recorder. It is a reconstructive system that encodes experiences into neural patterns, consolidates them during sleep, and reassembles them on demand — often with subtle alterations each time they are recalled.
Every act of remembering is an act of creation
Three Stages
Sensory register holds input for 0.5–3 seconds. Working memory processes 4 ± 1 chunks at a time. Long-term memory stores encoded items through rehearsal and meaningful association.
Retrieval Cues
Context-dependent recall: studying in the same environment as the test boosts accuracy by 18%. Elaborative encoding — linking new facts to existing knowledge — doubles retention over rote repetition.
