    Memory is the storage and retrieval of past experiences and information. It involves three types of memory - sensory memory which briefly stores sensory impressions, short term memory which retains information for 20-30 seconds, and long term memory which stores information for a longer period of time through meaningful repetition and rehearsal. Memory allows us to learn from the past and build relationships by recalling previous experiences and facts.

    Definition of Memory
    • The word “Memory” has been derived from a
    Latin word ‘Memoria’ means to retain in mind.
    • Memory is the storage of past experiences of an
    individual.
    • Memory is the bank in which all the information's
    are retained and can be processed by the central
    unit i.e. mind.
    • Memory keeps different sensation's, ideas and
    information's safe in mind and can be recalled
    when the need arises.
    Con…
    • According to the Woodworth, memory means
    to remember which has been learned in the
    past.
    • According to Robert S. Feldman, memory is
    the capacity to record, retain and retrieve
    information.
    • According to David G. Myers, Memory is the
    storage and retrieval of information.
    Phenomenon of Memory
    • Memory is our ability
    to encode, store, retain and
    subsequently recall information and past
    experiences in the human brain. It can be
    thought of in general terms as the use of past
    experience to affect or influence current
    behavior.
    Con…
    • Memory is the sum total of what we remember,
    and gives us the capability to learn and adapt
    from previous experiences as well as to build
    relationships. It is the ability to remember past
    experiences, and the power or process of
    recalling to mind previously learned facts,
    experiences, impressions, skills and habits. It is
    the store of things learned and retained from our
    activity or experience, as evidenced by
    modification of structure or behavior, or by recall
    and recognition.
    Types of memory
    • There are three types of memory related to
    each other:
    1. Sensory information storage(SIS)
    2. Short term memory (STM)
    3. Long term memory (LTM)
    Sensory information storage (SIS)
    • We receive information through our
    sensations.
    • The sensory impression is the shortest term
    memory which retains even less than a half
    second.
    • It is the first stage of momentary memory.
    • According to Feldman, sensory memory is the
    initial, short lived storage of information
    recorded as a meaningless stimulus.
    Example of SIS
    • Sensory memory is like a digital camera. One
    is continuously taking pictures of their
    environment. Each picture is replaced by a
    new picture until one “selects” something.
    Short Term Memory (STM)
    • According to Feldman , Short term memory is
    the storage of information for 15-25 seconds
    (also known as working memory).
    • In this phase, the information is stored in
    terms of its meanings rather than as mere
    sensory stimulation.
    • This memory is also called Primary memory.
    • It stores the information and generally retains
    them from 20-30 seconds at maximum.
    Con…
    • The example: to retain a new telephone No.
    we see a telephone No in the directory, dial it
    and recall to check it. When you have talked
    to the required person, you become busy in
    other matters and forget their telephone
    number due to the intervening reactions.
    • The rate of forgetting is very fast in short term
    memory.
    Long Term Memory (LTM)
    • According to Feldman, the storage of
    information on a relatively permanent basis,
    although retrieval may be difficult.
    • It is called as Secondary memory.
    • The rate of forgetting in long term memory is
    lesser than the short term memory.
    • Information's are made meaningful and
    retained in mind for a long time.
    Con…
    • It helps in utilizing the past experiences.
    • It is the last stage of memory process.
    • As the sensory information are received in the
    first stage, they can subside after a while.
    • This type of memory is present in every healthy
    mind.
    • It is damaged due to mental shock, trauma or old
    age because the blood arteries cannot blood
    circulation in the brain nerve cells.it effects the
    memory.
    Con…
    • The sensory memory can be changed into
    short term memory with the help of repetition
    and attention but the short term memory can
    be changed into long term memory.
    • The rehearsal or repetition not only keeps it
    alive but also allows the material to be
    transferred into long term memory.
