The Science of Memory: A Three-Part Process

Encoding

The brain processes electrical signals converted from external stimuli. Audiovisual cues, images, oddities, or humor make the encoding easier.

Storage

The brain finds ways to keep the information using acronyms, phonetic and visual cues, or by association with another visual.

Retrieval

The brain leverages techniques such as using flashcards or quizzes or having someone ask questions out loud to recall information.
