Long term memory

On 30th of April, we have learned Long term memory. Long-term memory is the constructed and analyzed data which contributes to the longer storage. It is said that long term memory has unlimited capacity.

Forms of storage

Explicit knowledge: Information that acquired through facts and events experienced from life. These type of information are not likely to be forgotten because it is meaningful and consciously acquired such as facts on textbook, general knowledge and your first date.

Implicit knowledge: Information that acquired through skills and habits. For example are riding bicycle and tying shoes. These type of information is hard to be explained but once it is acquired we just know how to do it.

In class, we do some activities regarding this topic. One of the activities is to remember then determine whether the statement shown is a new or old information. Most of us get it wrong because get confused with too many statement.
