3.2.1.1.1. Long-term memory potentiation
3.3. Storage
3.3.1. stored in various parts of brain
3.4. Recall/Retrieval
3.4.1. Recognition, inference, or reconstruction of the information
3.4.1.1. Recall or retrieval of memory
4. Memory Loss
4.1. Medications
4.1.1. A number of over the counter drugs are able to have side effects that can cause memory loss. Some drugs include antidepressants, antihistamines, anti-anxiety medications, muscle relaxants, tranquilizers, sleeping pills, and pain medications.
