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
