Encoding is paying attention to something to remember information through forming memory codes. Enriching encoding is the different ways people adapt to help in forming memory codes. Ways such as Elaboration, which means to connect the new information to our existing schemas. For example, when I read about phobias, I get reminded of my fear of dogs and dentist.
Ways also like Visual Imagery where our brains create a mental picture of the word. For example, when people are asked to remember a word (clown), they will picture mentally a circus which helps them to associate the image with the word. Relating it to memorizing, I create an imagination so that I can see how would know a ‘scenario’ of the word looks like, so I can remember the word as I can recall a familiar imagination.

The period of time can be extended through rehearsal where information is verbalized over repetition, which is considered an automatic process. I can relate to it when I am working retail line where I have to always remember codes on the clothing tag for reference every time I sold something. However, I have to repeat the codes aloud or in my head at times as I am attending to another customers because I know that I will forget or mix up the codes when I do not rehearse it. Another example will be when I am having a debate to get a point across to someone, I have the tendency to rephrase it and repeat my point in my head whenever I had to wait for my turn to speak in case I lost my train of
