  • Memory is an ability by which information is encoded, stored, and retrieved when needed. 
  • Three basic processes or characteristics of memory are Acquisition, Storage, and Retrieval. 
  • The acquisition is the process of acquiring information from our sense organs. The information acquired and encoded is stored over a period of time. In retrieval, the stored information is recalled for the purpose of its actual use. 
  • There are three stages of memory, viz. Sensory information store, short-term memory, and long-term memory.
