coding

1. We store information in long-term memory using different types of codes

   • code: a particular method for specifying information (such as in words or images)
   • working memory plays a key role in encoding when the material is organized in a new way, such as by visualizing the object named by a word or verbally describing something you are seeing
     • the degree of activity in the frontal lobes when information is studied predicts how well it will later be remembered
