This memory process involves putting information into long-term memory.
What is encoding?

Dwight has been conditioned by pairing a computer bell with an Altoid®. As he continues to hear the computer bell without the presentation of the Altoid®, he finds that his response to the computer bell lessens over time. He is experiencing this, relative to the conditioned stimulus.
What is extinction?

Quickly, he slows down and passes the vehicle at the speed limit. Upon closer examination, he sees ACME security written on the side of the vehicle and speeds up again as he passes. He has experienced this, with regard to the conditioned stimulus of the police car.
What is stimulus generalization?
500
This is the location of the 'engram,' or the physical space in the brain where memory is stored.
What is, we don't know? (or) Diffusely throughout the brain?
