Whenever forgetting or misremembering occurs, we can ask, at which stage in the learning/ memory process was there a failure?-though it is often difficult to answer this question with precision. Or, you might see the real Lyn Goff, recognize her face, but then call her by the name of another woman you met at the party (misrecall of her name).
The other error is misremembering (false recall or false recognition): you see someone who looks like Lyn Goff and call the person by that name (false recognition of the face). Forgetting is one type: you see the person you met at the party and you cannot recall her name. However, two types of errors can also occur. Any successful act of remembering requires that all three stages be intact. If you see her a week later, you need to recognize her face and have it serve as a cue to retrieve her name. Then you need to maintain the information over time. If you meet someone for the first time at a party, you need to encode her name (Lyn Goff) while you associate her name with her face. Encoding is defined as the initial learning of information storage refers to maintaining information over time retrieval is the ability to access information when you need it. Psychologists distinguish between three necessary stages in the learning and memory process: encoding, storage, and retrieval( Melton, 1963).
