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 to be either part of the encoding process or the storage process) is treated here as a separate process in its own right.

Primary memory. There are two kinds of computer memory: primary and secondary. Primary memory is accessible directly by the processing unit. RAM is an example of primary memory. As soon as the computer is switched off the contents of the primary memory is lost. You can store and retrieve data much faster with primary memory compared to secondary memory. Primary memory is more expensive than secondary memory. Because of this the size of primary memory is less than that of secondary memory. Computer
