ABSTRACT
Route map
The aim of this chapter is to introduce some of the key aspects of memory. It begins with an overview of the different memory systems. It then describes three types of memory: visual sensory memory, short-term memory and long-term memory. We then move on to discuss three memory models that seek to explain some of these results and the next section describes the major memory processes of encoding, retrieval and forgetting. The final two sections describe autobiographical and semantic memory.
