Recording (Encoding)
• The process of transforming information
into a form that can be entered and
retained in the memory system.

information from one form to another is
called recording.
▪ Encoding
◤ refers to the initial experience of perceiving and
learning information.
▪ Yet, if you had seen a giraffe during that walk, the event would
have been fixed in your mind for a long time, probably for the rest
of your life. Distinctiveness—having an event stand out as quite
different from a background of similar events—as a key to
remembering events.
◤
Retention (Storage)
• The process of retaining information in
memory so that it can be used later.
• The process of storing the information is
