, Illustrate how the components of the memory system interrelate.
The Memory System interrelates within 3 different stages. The stages are listed as
encoding, storage, and retrieval. Each of the 3 systems serves as a strengthening mechanism for
one another. Each stage serves a general purpose to allow the proper function of the full system.
“A good memory system maintains a cognitive environment to keep the items stored in memory
in as close to their original condition as possible” (Aronowitz, 2019).
The first stage is memory encoding. Memory encoding is the first step taken when
attempting to learn information. The encoding part transforms thoughts into short- and long-term
memory. This is also broken down into visual (a vivid picture), acoustic (hearing of sound), and
sematic (understanding meaning). Next there is the memory storage. The memory storage is the
storage component that stores lasting memories, thoughts, ideas, and concepts. It is uncertain the
amount of information that one can retain. And last is the memory retrieval component. The
memory retrieval is the process of retrieving the stored information regardless of its size or time
of placement. But it’s to be understood that not information can be retrieved as some information
can become a forgotten or misplaced memory. “Traditional centralized virtual memory system
design encounters severe scalability problems, which impede the multithreaded applications’
performance increment on many-core systems” (ai, M., Zhang, D., & Huang, H. (2020)).
