Human Memory Organization. Human memory organization‚ from the outside‚ seems to be quite a difficult thing to analyse‚ and even more difficult to explain in black and white. This is because of one main reason‚ no two humans are the same‚ and from this it follows that no two brains are the same.

Memory Storage There are two types of storage that consist in our brain‚ which are short and long term memory. Short term memory involves “rehearsal and chunking” (Schacter et al.‚ 2012)‚ while long term consists of “encoding and retrieval of past memories” (Schacter et al.‚ 2012).

Unit 4 – Cognition‚ Memory and Language Memory is the ability to encode‚ store and recall information. Encoding allows the perceived item of interest to be converted and stored within the brain‚ and then recalled later from short-term or long-term memory. There are three main ways in which information can be encoded: 1. Visual (picture) 2. Acoustic (sound) 3. Semantic (meaning) An example of encoding is memorizing notecards.
