Keywords:
Human memory, cognitive function, encodingAbstract
Human memory is a fundamental cognitive function that enables individuals to retain, retrieve, and use information. It is a complex and dynamic system encompassing various processes, such as encoding, storage, and retrieval, which operate across different types of memory, including sensory, short-term, and long-term memory. This article explores the mechanisms underlying human memory, the factors influencing its performance, and its significance in learning and daily life. By examining recent research, this article aims to provide a deeper understanding of memory's intricacies and its impact on human cognition and behavior.
