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