This document discusses memory and forgetting. It covers: 1. The dimensions (stages) of memory including encoding, storage, and retrieval. Encoding involves processes like rehearsal and elaboration to convert information into a storable form. 2. Memory storage occurs in sensory memory, working (short-term) memory, and long-term memory. Long-term memory can be declarative (facts) or non-declarative (skills). 3. Retrieval is the process of accessing stored memories and bringing them into conscious awareness using cues. Forgetting occurs due to factors like decay, interference, or retrieval failure.
