Memory is the capacity of the brain to store, encode, and retrieve information when required.
All information entering the brain passes through sensory memory and enters the short-term memory (STM). Information is then either transferred to long-term (LTM) or is discarded.
Sensory memory – retains all the visual and auditory input received for a few seconds. Only selected images and sounds are encoded into the STM.
