Long-term memory stores information permanently but can be difficult to retrieve. It includes declarative memory of facts and procedural memory of skills. There are two types of declarative memory: semantic memory of general knowledge and episodic memory of personal experiences. Forgetting can occur due to failures in encoding, decay over time, insufficient cues, or interference from other memories learned before or after (proactive and retroactive interference). Memory dysfunctions include Alzheimer's disease, Korsakoff's syndrome, and amnesia.

Long-term memory
Memory that store information on a relatively
permanent basis, although it may be difficult to
retrieve.
Long-term memory

Declarative memory- Procedural memory-


factual information skills and habits
example: George Washington Example: Riding a bicycle
was the first president of the US

Semantic memory- Episodic memory-


general memory and facts about personal knowledge that occur in a
the world particular time, place or context
example :George Washington example : remembering my visit to
wore a wig Washington’s home
Failure of Encoding- Not have paid attention to the material in the first place.

Decay-The loss of information in memory through its nonuse which means when the physical
changes take place in the brain , new material is learned, old ones simply fade away or disintegrate
over time.

Cue-dependent forgetting- Forgetting that occurs when there are insufficient recall cues to rekindle
information that is in memory

FORGETTING: WHEN MEMORY FAILS


Interference -The phenomenon by which information in memory disrupts the recall of other information

Proactive interference –Interference in which information learned earlier disrupts the recall of material
learned later

Retroactive interference- Interference in which material that was learned late disrupts the retrieval of
information that was learned earlier

FORGETTING: WHEN MEMORY FAILS


Memory Dysfunctions(Afflictions of Forgetting)

Alzheimer’s • A progressive brain disorder that leads to a gradual and

disease irreversible decline in cognitive abilities

Korsakoff’s • A disease that afflicts long-term alcoholics, leaving some abilities


intact but including hallucinations and a tendency to repeat the
syndrome same story.

• Retrograde amnesia: Amnesia in which memory is lost for

Amnesia occurrences prior to a certain event, but not for new events.
• Anterograde Amnesia :Amnesia in which memory is lost for
events that follow an injury
