•
Acquisition - is the process by which the brain receives information—be it a list of facts you need for your speech presentation or the proper formulas needed for the final exam... it stores this information within its neural circuits as a memory.
•
Consolidation - is a process that can extend over minutes, hours, or even days, during which connections in the brain are strengthened, extended, and in some cases even weakened, so that a memory ends up in a more stable and useful form.
•
Recall - is the last important step in learning, in which the brain accesses and utilizes stored information, often bringing memories back to mind.
