Cognitive memory refers to the mental processes involved in acquiring, storing, and retrieving information. It encompasses various types of memory, including short-term memory, which holds information temporarily, and long-term memory, which stores information for extended periods. Cognitive memory is essential for learning, problem-solving, and decision-making. This type of memory is influenced by factors such as attention, perception, and emotional state. Techniques like mnemonics and repetition can enhance cognitive memory by making it easier to remember information. Understanding cognitive memory helps in improving educational methods and cognitive therapies for memory-related issues.
