Your mother has called you on your cell phone and asked you to pick up a few items at the grocery store on your way home. As you heard your mother state each item, which process transferred this information from your sensory memory to your short-term memory so you could jot each grocery item down?

Encoding

Explanation:

Encoding is the initial learning of information. Encoding is the process of passing new information coming from sensory input  into our brain so that it can be easily retrievable. In a nutshell, it is the sum total of the processes by which external information such as the list of items your mother asked you to pick up at the grocery store to be converted into a manner that can be stored within the brain and recalled later from long-term memory.

Encoding has to do with transferring external stimuli into short term and subsequently long-term memory.
