- The nature of memory: STM, LTM and duration
- Duration of STM
- Short-term memories dont last very long.
- The way most people keep information in their STM for more than just a few seconds is to rehearse it.
- So rehearsal is one way of keeping a memory active.
- The result of such verbal rehearsal is that short-term memories are held in the short-term memory store and eventually become long term.
- Duration of LTM
- LTM refers to memories that last anywhere from 2 hours to 100 years plus.
- Shepard (1967)
- Bahrick et al. (1975)
- The duration of STM may be even shorter.
- Marsh et al. (1997)
- Not quite short term memories.
