Encoding on a basic level, based on the structure or appearance of words. Retention of facts and experiences that we can consciously know and "declare" (also called declarative memories) A momentary sensory memory of auditory stimuli; if attention is elsewhere, sounds and words can still be recalled within 3 to 4 seconds. Encoding that requires attention and conscious effort. Unconscious encoding of incidental information, such as space, time and frequency, and of well learned information such as word meaning. A momentary sensory memory of visual stimuli; a photographic or picture image memory lasting no more than a few tenths of a second. Encoding semantically, based on the meaning of the words; tends to yield best retntion. Memory aids, especially those techniques that use vivid imagery and organizational devices. Organizing items into familiar, manageable units; often occurs automatically. Enhanced memory after retrieving , rather than simply rereading information.
