Memory plays a crucial role in learning and behavior. It consists of three main steps: Input (information is received through senses), Central Processing (information is stored and sorted), and Output (actions based on information). Memory types include sensory storage, short-term, and long-term memory, with long-term being virtually unlimited. Techniques such as chunking help improve retention. Additionally, memories can be categorized into declarative (explicit) and procedural (implicit), while processes like priming enhance access to our memories, aiding both thought and creativity.

Input: • 1st step of memory. • Information is received • (The plate you are touching is hot!)
Central Processing: • 2nd step of memory • Information is stored and sorted • (Hot things burn your hand!)
Output: • Last step of memory • Action or result • Move your hand!
Sensory storage: • Held in your memory for about 2 seconds • Information Received by the 5 senses.
Short-Term Memory • Held in your memory as long as you repeat it
Long-term memory • Held in your memory indefinitely • Amount of long-term info that can be stored is infinite
Chunking: • Grouping information • Makes memory easier to retrieve
