Memory, Thinking, and Intelligence:
Memory refers to the processes by which information is encoded, stored, and retrieved. There are three stages of memory: sensory memory, short-term memory, and long-term memory. Sensory memory is the initial stage, where information is received through our senses and stored briefly in our minds. Short-term memory, also known as working memory, is where information is temporarily stored and manipulated. Long-term memory, on the other hand, is where information is stored for an extended period of time.
Thinking refers to the mental processes of perception, memory retrieval, problem-solving, and decision-making. There are several types of thinking, including convergent thinking (focussing on a single solution to a problem), divergent thinking (generating multiple solutions to a problem), and critical thinking (analyzing information and making judgments).
Intelligence refers to a person's ability to think, reason, and solve problems effectively. There are multiple theories of intelligence, including Gardner's theory of multiple intelligences, which suggests that intelligence is not a single ability but rather a collection of distinct abilities, such as logical-mathematical intelligence, linguistic intelligence, and musical intelligence.
