Theories of memory

Theories of memory help us understand how we store, retain, and recall information. Key theories include the multi-store model, which suggests memory has three levels: sensory, short-term, and long-term. Another is the levels of processing theory, emphasizing how deeply we process information affects retention. The connectionist model views memory as networks of connections between pieces of information. Additionally, the working memory theory highlights the active processing of information within short-term memory. Together, these theories offer insights into how our brains manage and utilize knowledge throughout our lives.
