The three phases of human memory are the sensory memory, the short-term memory, and the long- term
memory. This division of the memory into phases is based on the length of time of the memory.
Sensory memory is instantaneous memory. It is an image or memory that enters your mind only for a short
period of time; it comes and goes in under a second. The memory will not last longer than that unless the information
enters the short-term memory.
Information can be held in the short-term memory for about twenty seconds or as long as you are actively
using it. If you repeat a fact to yourself, that fact will stay in your short-term memory as long as you keeprepeating it.
Once you stop repeating it, either it is forgotten or it moves into long term memory.
Long-term memory is the huge memory tank that can hold ideas and images for years and years. Information
can be added to your long-term memory when you actively try to put it there through memorization or when an idea or
image enters your mind on its own.
