                                INTRODUCTION
                                You are bombarded with information every waking mo-
                                ment. Once selected, some information passes from imme-
                                diate memory—that is, what you can sense—into short-term
                                or holding memory. Finally, a small amount of the original
                                information makes it to permanent long-term memory. The
                                final move to long-term memory is what we call learning. In
                                this chapter, you will learn how information is captured, se-
                                lected, and stored.
