Memory is the ability to encode, store and remember information and past experiences in the brain. 

Encoding: a process of making mental representation of information. It can also mean transferring from short term to long term.

Storing: Process of placing encoded information into relatively permanent storage for later recall.

Remembering: the process of retrieving what has been stored in short term or long term memory.

TYPES OF MEMORY 

There are three main types of memory.

 1) Sensory memory 

2) Long term memory 

3) Short term memory

4)Active memory

5)passive memory

6)rote memory

7)Eidecit memory

GENERAL FACTORS AFFECTING MEMORY. 

a. Ability to retain:  This depends upon good memory traces left in the brain by past experiences. 

b. Good health: A person with good health can retain the learnt material better than a person with poor health. 

c. Age of the learner:  Youngsters can remember better than the aged. 

d. Maturity: Very young children cannot retain and remember complex material.

e. Will to remember: Willingness to remember helps for better retention. 

f. Intelligence:  More intelligent person will have better memory than a dull person, 

g. Interest: If a person has more interest, he will learn and retain better. 

h. Over learning: Experiments have proved that over learning will lead to better memory. 

i. Speed of learning: Quicker learning leads to better retention,

j. Meaningfulness of the material: Meaningful materials remain in our memory for longer period than for nonsense material,

k. Sleep or rest: Sleep or rest immediately after learning strengthens connections in the brain and helps for clear memory.
