Verified step by step guidance1
Step 1: Understand the three box model of memory, which includes three stages: sensory memory, short-term memory, and long-term memory.
Step 2: Recognize that memory involves multiple processes, specifically encoding (getting information into memory), storage (maintaining information over time), and retrieval (accessing stored information when needed).
Step 3: Analyze each option in the question to see which best aligns with these processes. For example, interpreting sensory information relates more to perception than memory.
Step 4: Identify that the correct definition of memory in this context is the process by which information is encoded, stored, and retrieved over time, as it directly corresponds to the three box model.
Step 5: Confirm that other options, such as problem-solving or recall biases (like the tendency to remember first and last items), describe different cognitive phenomena rather than the core definition of memory.
