Our memory is a crucial part in our everyday lives. It helps us to process and understand outside information. With the help of our memory we are able to figure out who, what, where, when and how. We are born with an internal filing cabinet that stores all the information we retain, and files it into our long term and short term memory while we sleep. Our memory is not just remembering something, it's the process that informations is encoded, stored, and retrieved.
To create a new memory information must first be encoded. Encoding is the process of converting information into something that our brain can store. The brain can encode information in several ways using our different senses. Mainly we process information by encoding its meaning, visualizing it, or mentally organizing it, depending on what we are processing. Most of our daily tasks are processed automatically but others need rehearsal and effort to be retained. Encoding is what allows us to process information.

Storing information is important so that we can retrieve it later.
We recall our information most of the time without even realizing it. Every time we remember something we are retrieving the information or event from our brain. Information which was previously stored and encoded. What we think of as remembering something is actually retrieving. We can do this by two main ways recognition and recalling. Recognition is when we are reminded of a past event by one we are experiencing. While recalling is remembering something that is not physically present.
Our memory is a very powerful thing. While many people may think that memory is a function on its own. It's actually several different functions all working together.
Every single thing that we remember has been through the process of encoding, storing, and then retrieving. Our memory is a very powerful tool that we shouldn't overlook, it truly makes our lives what it
