1. Memory: something remembered from the past; a recollection. 2. Encoding: is the process of converting data from one form to another. 3. Storage: Storing refers to the process of placing newly acquired information into memory, which is modified in the brain for easier storage. 4. Procedural memory: Procedural memory is defined as the memory system in charge of the encoding, storage, and retrieval of the procedures that underlie motor, visuospatial, or cognitive skills. 5. Schemas: Person schemas are focused on specific individuals. For example, your schema for your friend might include information about her appearance, her behaviors, her personality, and her preferences. 6. Eidetic memory: referring to the ability to see an object for a few minutes after it is no longer present. 7. Elaborative rehearsal: Elaborative rehearsal is a type of memory rehearsal that is useful in transferring information into long term memory. This type of rehearsal is effective because it involves thinking about the meaning of the information and connecting it to other information already stored in memory. 8. Metacognition: Metacognition is, put simply, thinking about one's thinking. More precisely, it refers to the processes used to plan, monitor, and assess one's understanding and performance. 9. Decay: Is a type of forgetting that occurs when memories fade over time. This does NOT apply to Long Term Memory, but rather sensory storage and Short Term Memory. 10. Semantic Memory: Semantic memory is a part of the explicit long-term memory responsible for storing information about the world.
