Interactive Memory Flow

3 / 3
This interactive diagram shows the flow of memory. Start with sensory input, which enters sensory memory. If you pay attention, it moves to short-term memory. From there, encoding can transfer it to long-term memory. When you need to remember something, retrieval brings it back from long-term memory to conscious awareness. Click on each stage to see its details. Notice how encoding and retrieval are the bridges between the stages.
