What is the memory formation process?

The memory formation process involves encoding, storage, and retrieval of information. Would you like to know more about each stage?

Yes, please explain the encoding stage.

Encoding is the first step where information is transformed into a format that can be stored in the brain. This can involve visual, acoustic, or semantic encoding.

What happens during the storage stage?

During storage, the encoded information is maintained over time. This can be short-term or long-term storage, depending on how the information is processed.

And how do we retrieve memories?

Retrieval is the process of accessing stored information when needed. It can be triggered by cues or prompts that help bring the memory to consciousness.
