MEMORY PROCESSES We have already looked at the different stages of memory formation (from perception to sensory memory to short-term memory to long-term memory) in the section on Types of Memory. This section‚ however‚ looks at the overall processes involved. Memory is the ability to encode‚ store and recall information. The three main processes involved in human memory are therefore encoding‚ storage and recall (retrieval). Additionally‚ the process of memory consolidation (which can be considered

Flashbulb memories are memories of learning something shockingly or even surprising that create strong emotional associations for a human being of learning about a certain event. Though Jim remembers vivid details about the event‚ he may be wrong about it then. In this essay‚ I will be explaining about Jim inaccurate memory of his experience. The major problem is memory trace decay. Over time‚ memory trace decay will eventually fade. A neurochemical is being created each time when Jim learn something

VOLATILE MEMORY Volatile memory‚ also known as volatile storage‚ is computer memory that requires power to maintain the stored information‚ unlike non-volatile memory which does not require a maintained power supply. It has been less popularly known as term Dynamic random access memory (DRAM) is a type of random access memory that stores each bit of data in a separate capacitor within an integrated circuit. Since real capacitors leak charge‚ the information eventually fades unless the capacitor

Introduction to Cache Memory Cache memory is a random access memory (RAM) that a computer microprocessor can access more quickly than it can access regular RAM. As the microprocessor processes data‚ it looks first in the cache memory and if it finds the data from a previous reading of data‚ it does not have to do the more time-consuming reading of data from larger memory. Cache memory is sometimes described in levels of closeness and accessibility to the microprocessor. An L1 cache is on the same
