About this listen

 This Psychology podcast episode provides an extensive overview elucidating the workings of human memory systems. It offers an introductory framework orienting listeners towards core terminology and concepts required for more informed discussions in later episodes that will delve into specialized memory subtopic intricacies. Major forms of memory are explored from fleeting sensory memory buffers to extracted short term retention stores and vast long term knowledge banks. Essential processes like encoding new information, physiological neural system changes supporting subsequent retention and strategic methods for information retrieval access are examined. Additionally the podcast reviews theories about memory stages along with modern models highlighting active working memory manipulation. Listeners can anticipate future episodes building on these basic foundations towards subjects like the fallibility of eyewitness recall, the emotional coloring influencing autobiographical memory narratives and emerging neuroscience surrounding memory consolidation. This primer episode intends to establish strong bedrock clarifying vital ideas about memory composition through its sensory registrations, mental representations and biological reinstatements.
