Long-Term Memory is an Abstract Concept (So Let’s Use An Analogy)
Long-Term Memory is part of your brain’s filing system. It has at least 2 filing cabinets.
Each filing cabinet has different drawers with different kinds of memories.
Explicit Memory
Implicit Memory
Semantic Episodic
ProceduralClassically-Conditioned
Priming

The Concept of Long-Term Memory
5
Your brain stores different parts of your Long-Term Memory in different physical sections.When your brain needs a memory, it activates that physical section & extracts the memory.Like a computer gets data from its memory storage.

And what if the data isn’t in the correct drawer when your brain
searches for the missing piece?

Learning modifies the brain’s neural networks in 2 ways
1. Dendrites grow more spines, more synapses, more receptor sites, more sensitivity
What does growing more spines (branches) mean?
“I have 3 branches”
“I have 4 branches. I am learning more.”
