Memory has the ability to encode, store and recall information. Memories give an organism the capability to learn and adapt from previous experiences as well as build relationships. The types of encoding used by individuals to input information into the nervous system include;
Visual encoding which entails the process of encoding images and visual sensory information. Elaborative is the process of actively relating new information to knowledge that is already in memory, and Acoustic encoding which is the encoding of auditory impulses.
