          • Semantic Encoding is when you start putting meaning to the content to retrieve it at a later stage e.g. a story.
        • Definition
          • Information is exchanged or encoded so that it can be stored
      • Storage
        • Storage is encoded information is stored in the memory so that it can be accessed at a later stage

        • Encoding - Acoustically/Viually
