Answer:

Rehearsal

Step-by-step explanation:

The human memory basically does the function of encoding (is the meansof changing or the transforming of information into a form that can be stored in memory ), storage ( entails keeping/maintaining information in memory) and lastly retrieval( it covers bringing to mind information that has been stored in memory).
