muistiprosessin
Muistiprosessi, or memory process, refers to the set of cognitive mechanisms involved in encoding, storing, and retrieving information. The process is typically described in three stages: encoding, consolidation (or storage), and retrieval. Encoding involves transforming sensory input into a form that can be processed and stored; it can be enhanced by attention, repetition, and meaningful association. Consolidation is the stabilization of encoded information, which can occur during wakeful activity or sleep; it is influenced by factors such as rehearsal, emotional salience, and neural plasticity. Retrieval is the act of bringing stored information into conscious awareness, and it can be cued by contextual, semantic, or procedural cues.
In psychology research, models of memory include the multi-store model, which distinguishes sensory, short‑term, and long‑term
The study of muistiprosessi informs various applied fields, including education, where techniques such as spaced repetition
