Consolidation is the process of transferring information from short-term memory to long-term memory. While some consolidation may occur immediately (option A) or soon after encoding (option C), it typically continues for much longer, sometimes even years (option B). Encoded memories are not necessarily consolidated (option D), as this process occurs after encoding.
