Memory1

…

…Along with memories that are recovered, come the effects that follow. Short-term memory holds every experience encountered, while long-term memory retains only what's important. Memory is stored through episodic and semantic memory. The retrieval of decoded information occurs the same way it was encoded. Memory is affected through positive and negative emotions; some remembered others suppressed. Not only is memory used to dwell in the past, it also helps formulate the present and the future.
