Memory

Memory is the part of the mind that keeps the things that you can remember. It is the mind's ability to store information to use later. It is studied in a special science called "cognitive psychology". There are three main types of memory:

1. Sensory memory, in which sensations are first noticed, like smelling a flower.
2. Short-term memory, the ability to keep information in mind for a short time, like remembering a phone number long enough to find a piece of paper.
3. Long-term memory, the ability to remember things long after they happen, like remembering a holiday you had last year.
