Long-Term Memory: Understanding Memory Processes and Techniques, Slides of Brain and Cognitive Science
Explore the traditional view of long-term memory, including its capacity, coding, and duration. Learn about forgetting through ebbinghaus's forgetting curve, paired associate learning, and retrieval from long-term memory. Discover mnemonic devices and encoding specificity to enhance memory. Understand the levels of processing theory.

Long Term Memory:
The Traditional View
- Capacity = virtually unlimited
- Coding = semantic (meaning-based)
- Duration: as much as a lifetime!
Forgetting
- Ebbinghaus’s forgetting curve
Retrieval from LTM
Mnemonic devices
- Method of Loci
- Pegword method
- One is a bun
- Two is a shoe
- Three is a tree
- Four is a door...
Encoding Specificity
- It is a great advantage to retrieve information in the same context in which it was originally learned (with the same retrieval cues present)
- Context effects
- State dependent learning
- Mood-dependent memory
- Spacing effects
Recall best for deepest processing
