Stage 1 - sensory

You initially absorb information or experiences through sensory memory where they are stored for just an instant. Your sensory memory contains information received immediately into your brain from your senses. Most of what enters your sensory memory disappears immediately.

Stage 2 - short-term

Those things that you focus your attention on proceed to short-term memory. Typically, a person can hold between five to nine pieces or units of information there at one time. These units of information could be numbers, letters, words, images, or something else similar.

    I have been working in the brain fitness space since 2001 and we have come along way.
