5 -- Long term memory
We transition to long term memory. In this unit we investigate what
we'll call basic memory processes. How does long term memory work?
What are some of the areas to which it applies? We'll be looking at
two examples (out of many that could be chosen) of how to improve
long-term retention. We'll also consider some interesting questions
about long term memory.
