Main article: Human information storage

Encoding in the memory refers to how the information is stored.

Baddeley (1966) investigated how information is encoded into short-term and long-term memories.

In short-term memory the information is normally stored acoustically (as sound) as opposed to LTM where the infomation is normally stored semantically (as meaning).
