Question

difference between stm and ltm​

Answer 1

Explanation:

In general, short-term memory (STM) refers to limited capacity that can store information for short periods of time. On the contrary, long-term memory (LTM) has unlimited capacity that can hold a vast quantity of information which can be stored for long periods of time.

Answer 2

Answer:

There is a difference between long-term memory and short-term memory in the process of recall. When we are looking for a bit of information in STM we scan the entire contents of this store. But as the amount of information stored in long-term memory is lost, we cannot scan the entire contents of the LTM when we are looking for a bit of information. We use a cue relevant to the information we need and retrieve only that information instead of the entire contents of LTM.
