Memory Models

Memory models are frameworks that describe how we process, store, and retrieve information in our minds. They help us understand the different types of memory, such as short-term and long-term memory, and how they interact. For example, sensory memory captures impressions from our senses briefly, while working memory temporarily holds and manipulates information. Long-term memory is where we store information more permanently, organized by various factors like meaning and experiences. These models are essential for studying how we learn, remember, and sometimes forget things in our daily lives.
