| Memory | The mental capacity to encode |
| Encoding | The process by which a mental representation is formed in memory. |
| Storage | The retention of encoded material over time. |
| Retrieval | The recovery of stored information from memory. |
| Sensory memory | The initial memory processes involved in the momentary preservation of fleeting impressions of sensory stimuli. |
| Short-term memory | Memory processes associated with preservation of recent experiences and with retrieval of information from long-term memory; short-term memory is of limited capacity and stores information for only a short length of time without rehearsal. |
| Maintenance Rehearsal | a system for remembering involving repeating information to oneself without attempting to find meaning in it. |
| Chunking | The process of taking single items of information and recoding them on the basis of similarity or some other organizing principle. |
| Semantic memories | Generic |
| Episodic memories | Long-term memories for autobiographical events and the contexts in which they occurred. |
| Declarative memory | Memory for information such as facts and events. |
| Procedural memory | Memory for how things get done; the way perceptual |
| Recognition | A method of retrieval in which an individual is required to identify stimuli as having been experienced before. |
| Recall | A method of retrieval in which an individual is required to reproduce the information previously presented. |
| Reconstructive memory | The process of putting information together based on general types of stored knowledge in the absence of a specific memory representation. |
| Confabulation | the act of filling in the memory gaps |
| Schemas | General conceptual frameworks |
| Eidetic Memory | the ability to remember with great accuracy visual information on the basis of short-term exposure. |
| Decay | fading away of memory over time. |
| Interference | A memory phenomenon that occurs when retrieval cues do not point effectively to one specific memory. |
| Elaborate rehearsal | A technique for improving memory by enriching the encoding of information. |
| Mnemonics Strategies | or devices that use familiar information during the encoding of new information to enhance subsequent access to the information in memory. |
