Detailed explanation-1: -This type of memory is unlimited in capacity and stable-lasting for years or even a lifetime. Short-term memories can become long-term memories through a process known as consolidation. Long-term memory can be further subdivided into two different types: explicit (conscious) and implicit (unconscious) memory.
Detailed explanation-2: -Long-term memory refers to unlimited storage information to be maintained for long periods, even for life. There are two types of long-term memory: declarative or explicit memory and non-declarative or implicit memory.
Detailed explanation-3: -The capacity of long-term memory is unlimited in contrast to short-term and working memory. A lot of researches have shown that different types of long-term memories are stored in different parts of the brain.
Detailed explanation-4: -Although the long-term memory process allows information to remain in the brain for an extended period, nothing in the brain avoids risk. Information stored in long-term memory can stay in the brain for a short while (a day, a week) or last as long as a lifetime.
Detailed explanation-5: -Long‐term memory (LTM) has an unlimited capacity and a very long duration; it is virtually limitless. Repetition and elaborative rehearsal (manipulation of information by giving it meaning) are helpful techniques in storing information in LTM.
