Memory is the PROCESS of retention and retrieval of information that has been perceived through any of our five senses. Inability to retain information beyond a few minutes is what is typically referred to as short term memory loss. "Memory.. is the diary that we all carry about with us." -Oscar Wilde Long-Term vs Short-Term Memory Information that is perceived through any of our senses is initially stored in short-term memory, or the working mind. 
Short-term memory holds the material from a few seconds to a few minutes. Then it's gone, to make way for the next sensory perception. Material that is important enough is transferred to long-term memory. This is a relatively long-lasting storehouse, and can theoretically hold unlimited information for indefinite period of time. "A moment lasts all of a second, but the memory lives on forever." -Unknown How is information transferred from our "working mind" to its more permanent counterpart?
No. That maybe a necessary, but not the sufficient condition for "Good" memory. Instead, it has more to do with an improvement in our ability to recognize and recall the transferred data, exactly when it is needed. As seen earlier, we virtually have the capacity to hold infinite data for indefinite period of time in our minds. And most people, by following few of the techniques referenced in the preceding section, can successfully transfer and retain that material in this infinite storehouse.

So how do people with "Good" memory retrieve and recall specific information as needed? By developing few habits and lifestyle techniques that enhance the communication between their brain cells.
