== <span style="color: #FFFFFF;">Remembering</span> == * '''Encoding''' β The initial process of perceiving and registering information into the memory system. * '''Storage''' β The maintenance of encoded information over time. * '''Retrieval''' β The process of accessing stored information when needed. * '''Short-Term Memory (STM)''' β A system for holding a small amount of information in mind for a short period (approx. 20-30 seconds). * '''Working Memory''' β A dynamic system for the temporary storage and manipulation of information (e.g., mental math). * '''Long-Term Memory (LTM)''' β The relatively permanent and limitless storehouse of the memory system. * '''Declarative (Explicit) Memory''' β Memory for facts (semantic) and events (episodic) that can be consciously recalled. * '''Procedural (Implicit) Memory''' β Memory for skills and habits (e.g., riding a bike) that are performed without conscious thought. * '''Consolidation''' β The process by which unstable, new memories are converted into stable, long-term representations (often involving sleep). * '''Synaptic Plasticity''' β The ability of synapses to strengthen or weaken over time in response to increases or decreases in their activity. * '''Long-Term Potentiation (LTP)''' β A long-lasting increase in synaptic strength following high-frequency stimulation; the cellular basis of learning. * '''Hippocampus''' β A brain structure in the medial temporal lobe critical for the formation of new declarative memories. * '''Neuroplasticity''' β The brain's ability to reorganize itself by forming new neural connections throughout life. * '''Classical Conditioning''' β A learning process that occurs when two stimuli are repeatedly paired (Pavlov's dogs). * '''Operant Conditioning''' β A learning process through which the strength of a behavior is modified by reinforcement or punishment (Skinner box). </div> <div style="background-color: #006400; color: #FFFFFF; padding: 20px; border-radius: 8px; margin-bottom: 15px;">
