Long-Term Memory

This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.

State

Long-term memory holds information over extended periods with no known capacity limit.

Show

A song heard constantly at fifteen is still recognized at fifty without ever being rehearsed.

Watch for

Unlimited capacity does not mean reliable access. Retrieval, not storage, is the usual bottleneck.
