Memory is multidimensional. We have conscious recollection of recently encountered information. This is referred to as new learning. The immediate memory for events that have just happened is called short-term memory. Quick, or short-term, memory is in contrast to what is called long-term memory. Our brain seems to have different banks for memory, the immediate bank and the long-term bank. Memories move from the immediate bank to the long-term bank by a series of neurochemical processes in our brain.
