Understand the context: The problem is asking about the process by which sensory information is transformed into a format that can be stored in the brain.
Identify the key terms: The options provided are 'encoding', 'storage', 'rehearsal', and 'retrieval'. Each of these terms relates to different stages of memory processing.
Define 'encoding': Encoding is the process of converting sensory input into a form that can be stored in the brain. It involves transforming sensory data into a mental representation.
Differentiate the terms: 'Storage' refers to maintaining information over time, 'rehearsal' involves repeating information to keep it in short-term memory, and 'retrieval' is accessing stored information.
Conclude with the correct term: Based on the definitions, the process of converting sensory information into a usable form for storage is known as 'encoding'.
