Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Encoding is the process by which information is transferred from short-term memory to long-term memory. Attention and maintenance rehearsal are important for keeping information in short-term memory, but not for transferring it to long-term memory. Transduction refers to the conversion of sensory information into neural signals, which is important for perception but not specifically for memory consolidation.
