Question

What are the Three main activities related to Long-term memory process? Describe each process

Answer 1

The Three main activities related to Long-term Memory process are remembering, forgetting, and retrieving information.

Remembering information

• Information from short-term memory is stored in long-term memory by rehearsal. The repeated exposure to a stimulus or the rehearsal of a piece of information transfers it into long-term memory

Forgetting information

• Acquire new information might cause the loss of old information.
• People tend to remember positive information rather than negative information, and highly emotive events rather than mundane. So, the people are harder to remember emotional information in the short-term than long-term memory

Retrieving information

• Two types of retrieving information: Recall and Recognition.
• Recall
  • Reproduced information from memory
• Recognition
  • The presentation of the information provides the knowledge that the information has been seen before
