Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Long-term memory is the permanent storage of information-its capacity is basically unlimited.

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: -Long-term memory can hold an unlimited amount of information for an indefinite period of time. Short-term memories become long-term memories in a region of the brain called the hippocampus. Another part of the brain called the cortex stores these long-term memories.

Detailed explanation-4: -Declarative memory and procedural memory are the two types of long-term memory. Procedural memory consists of how to do things. Declarative memory consists of facts, general knowledge, and personal experiences. The two subtypes of declarative memory are episodic memory and semantic memory.

Detailed explanation-5: -Long-term memory (LTM) is the continuous storage of information. Unlike short-term memory, the storage capacity of LTM has no limits. It encompasses all the things you can remember that happened more than just a few minutes ago to all of the things that you can remember that happened days, weeks, and years ago.
