Psychology 9-1 GCSE - 

2.1.1 - Know the structure and process of memory and information processing:

a) Input - 

This is sensory information being inputted, e.g smell, sight, sound and touch.

b) Processing - 

Processing is how we interpret the information initially from the input.

c) Output - 

Our output can mean reactions to our senses or output to our memories.

d) Encoding - 

When information comes into our memory from sensory input, it needs to be changed into a form that the system can cope with so that it can be stored. 

e) Storage - 

This concerns the nature of the memories. e.g where the information is stored, how long the memory lasts for, how much can be stored at any time and what kind of information.

f) Retrieval - 

Getting information out of storage. STM (short term memory) is stored and received sequentially. LTM (long term memory) is stored and received by association.
