How do we remember? An overview of Long Term Memory
Memory is an active system that receives, stores, organizes, alters, and retrieves information. Our long-term memory is the subset of memory dedicated to long-term storage and retrieval. Memories about childhood, facts and trivia, and basic skills like how to ride a bike are all filed away in long term storage. In this video, we’ll see how our long-term memories are stored and retrieved—although it may be more accurate to say “reconstructed”!
