Expert Solution

Memory Encoding

Memory encoding refers to the process that allows information to be converted in a way that can be stored in the brain and can be retrieved from short term or long term memory. The process of memory encoding begins with perception which is identification and interpretation of the sensory information being received. The encoding of any information is achieved by chemical interactions and nerve impulses.

There are four types of coding:

Visual: This process includes storing of visual information.
Acoustic: Acoustic encoding involves the storing of auditory information.
Elaborative: This process uses the preexisting information to process new information being experienced.
Semantic: Semantic encoding involves the use of information that can be applied to some other setting and has a specific meaning attached to it.
