Memory, and attention have a very close relationship because of how they need one for the other. “Memory is the means by which we draw on our past experiences in order to use this information in the present” (Sternberg, 1999). This quote embodies how memory is because it's created by the 5 senses, and the experiences which these senses allow us to have. Attention holds a big part in this too because of how when a new smell, sound,feeling, taste, and sight is received it’s a factor of us focusing in on one of these senses when we acknowledge a new or familiar stimulus. When we smell a familiar smell we are able to determine what it is which is us going back into our long term memory to recognize this stimuli. The same with the rest of the senses
