Long-term memory is the storage of information over an extended period of time, potentially for a lifetime. It has a large capacity and can hold a vast amount of information, including facts, experiences, and skills. Long-term memory is believed to have an unlimited capacity and can store information indefinitely.
Short-term memory, on the other hand, is the temporary storage of information that is currently being used or processed. It has a limited capacity and can only hold a small amount of information for a short period of time, typically around 20-30 seconds. Short-term memory is responsible for holding information that is needed for immediate tasks, such as remembering a phone number or following directions. It is also known as working memory.

Long-Term Memory (LTM)
- Capacity: Vast, virtually unlimited
- Duration: Indefinite, can last a lifetime
- Content: Information that has been consolidated and stored for later retrieval
- Types:
- Explicit (Declarative): Consciously recalled memories, such as facts, events, and names.
- Episodic: Memories of specific personal experiences.
- Semantic: Memories of general knowledge, such as facts and concepts.
- Implicit (Non-Declarative): Skills, habits, and procedures that are performed automatically without conscious recall.
- Procedural: Memories of how to perform actions and skills.
- Priming: Enhanced ability to recall or respond to information that has been previously encountered.
Short-Term Memory (STM)
- Capacity: Limited, can hold a small amount of information at a time (7±2 items)
- Duration: Short-lived, typically only lasts a few seconds or minutes
- Content: Temporary storage of information that is currently being processed or used
- Types:
- Working Memory: A combination of short-term storage and manipulation of information. Used for complex tasks, such as comprehension and reasoning.
- Sensory Memory: Initial storage of sensory input from the environment. Has a very short duration (less than a second).
