As these memories are made, they come into the control center of the brain as a little ball that holds each specific memory. By the end of Riley’s day, she has a tower in the control center of the brain that is filled with the little balls of memories she has made. These balls are released into a bigger tower with much more capacity, also known as her long-term memory, when she goes to sleep. One day after Riley’s move to San Francisco, the emotions, Joy and Sadness, were sucked up in a tube that takes the memories and stores them in the long-term memory. Joy and Sadness went on a trip through the different parts of the brain trying to find their way back to the control center. Along their trip through the parts of the brain, memory was expressed in different ways. Memory is a way for humans to remember specific events and information that they gain. Memory is a three-stage process: encoding, storage, and retrieval. Encoding is done by adjusting or converting the sensory information a person takes in, into a different form that can be used by the brain. For example, in the movie, Inside Out, encoding is symbolized by converting the sensory information that Riley witnesses into little balls that hold the specific memories. These specific memories are then kept in storage, which are represented by towers in Riley’s brain, until they need to be retrieved. Storage is a process where the brain holds onto information. Retrieval is the process of getting the information out of storage. There are three different ways to store information in the brain, these are known as sensory memory, short-term memory, and long-term memory. Sensory memory is very brief and preserves information in its original sensory form. Sensory memory is then passed on into short-term memory. Short-term memory has a limited capacity. Rehearsing the information is a way for short-term information to be remembered and
