VOCAB … TODDLER INTELLECT Encoding allows the perceived item of use or interest to be converted into a construct that can be stored within the brain and recalled later from short term or long term memory.
Empathy: the intellectual identification with or vicarious experiencing of the feelings, thoughts, or attitudes of another.
Storage: refers to the retention of information, which has been achieved through the encoding process, in the brain for a prolonged period of time until it is accessed through recall.
Retrieval: refers to recalling of events or information from the past
