Document Summary
Overview: into to ltm, declarative memory, implicit memory, how info is stored in ltm, how memories are stored in the brain, how we retrieve info from ltm, memory research & studying, intro to ltm. Ltm is an archive of info about past experiences in our lives and knowledge we have learned. Ltm coordinates with working memory to help create our ongoing experience. The primacy and recency effects that occur in the serial position curve have been linked to ltm and stm, respectively. The following evidence supports the idea that stm and ltm are two separate processes: 1. Double dissociation between stm and ltm in patients with brain damage. Removal of h. m"s hippocampus = lost the ability to form new ltms, but retained stm. K. f had deficient stm, but had normal ltm: 2. Differences in the primary mode of coding, with ltm more likely to be coded semantically than stm: declarative memory.
