Still in stm and can be easily remembered. Compare stm and ltm by the way info is coded: visual coding. Coding in mind in the form of visual image. Ltm- visualizing a person or a place from past: auditory coding. Coding in mind in the form of sound. Ltm- playing a song in your head: semantic coding. Coding in mind in terms of meaning. Stm- recalling words soon after hearing them. Performance increase due to release from proactive interference. Recognition memory- the identification of stimulus that was encountered earlier.
