Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Memory involves the process of encoding (inputting information), storage (retaining information over time), and retrieval (accessing stored information when needed). It is the persistence of learning, and it can involve different types of encoding, such as semantic (meaning-based) encoding. It does not necessarily involve conscious awareness or retrieval in the same form as it was encoded.
