| Acquisition and encoding |
The process of getting information into memory. Initially memory traces are fragile and unstable |
| Consolidation/stabilisation |
Processes responsible for putting information into long‐term storage, which, if disrupted, lead to forgetting |
| Association/ integration |
Linking and combining new memories with those already in long‐term storage |
| Recall/recognition |
Retrieval of information from storage. Recall involves calling something to mind without the help of an external stimulus reminder. Recognition involves remembering, triggered by the presence of an external stimulus |
| Reconsolidation |
The re‐storage of information into permanent store after it has been recalled |
| Forgetting |
The inability to access information that is represented in memory |
