== memory ==
what is memory?
Answer: [[Memory]]
----
After reading this article I could not figure out the basic mechanism of long-term storage. For instance, the short-term learning updates synaptic weights.
: Dare to [[WP:BB|be bold]]. --[[User:Diberri|David Iberri]] ([[User talk:Diberri|talk]]) 19:30, 24 December 2005 (UTC)
Maybe some more information for the site itself on memory, not just a link. For intsance, maybe talk about the stages in short term-memory and then how that leads to long-term memory.

Regarding Declarative/Procedural model - may want to cite Michael T. Ullman. Also it is not clear whether just LTM is divided this way, or all of the memory.
== perceptual representation system ==
Line 27 ⟶ 42:
Is there a known limit to the amount of long term memory a person can have? I'm going to use a very extreme example. Can I learn 50 languages, become a Phd in 10 different fields in 5 years and keep the majority of those memories 5 years later -- assuming I use all of those memories? Or do we have say 500mb of storage, and once we fill that 500mb new memories overwrite the oldest memories? <small>—The preceding [[Wikipedia:Sign your posts on talk pages|unsigned]] comment was added by [[Special:Contributions/75.20.224.240|75.20.224.240]] ([[User talk:75.20.224.240|talk]]) 13:41, 15 January 2007 (UTC).</small><!-- HagermanBot Auto-Unsigned -->
* If we consider the mind as a selectional system operating in N dimensional space where N is equal to the number of axis determined by the range of our sensory perseptive abilities to differentiate between stimuli, then we have a limit for memory, but for all practical purposes that limit is on the order of magnitude so near to the infinite that we need never concern ourselves with it. In addition due to neural genesis we must conceed the possibility of extending the range of N space due to extended capabilities to differentiate stimuli.
*In short, if we can percieve a thing we can remember it.
*Your question, however, seems less to do with the limitations of memory storage and more pursay to do with the limits of the rate of memory formation within the human mind. In simple terms there is no time to complete the tasks you have listed in the aloted time, in a normally functioning human mind. There are, however, some savants who have been capable of feats nearing what you have discribed. See [[Brainman]], [[Daniel Tammet]], a man who is able to become functional in a language within two weeks.--[[User:Scottmcmaster|Scottmcmaster]] 06:47, 29 January 2007 (UTC)
::Simple answer: Yes, but we don't know how to measure it. --[[User:PaulWicks|PaulWicks]] 17:25, 29 January 2007 (UTC)
* Limited space and limited simulation speeds of cortex suggest the factors, as limited by speeds as how our current cortex transfers energy, how it uses energy. The limitations of simulation speeds apparently hit in before thinking of space limitations. Because there are speed limits to discover something new, as speed limits to get new data to enter sensors and to recognize something meaningfully new from this data you sense, as in order to transfer what you sense as useful, to long-term. To getting it to long-term the data seemingly has to be meaningfully important, - something you're likely to repeat, to add context, to further integrate with previous memories, interweaving more strongly to emotional states, something you sense to be very important, very useful, very helpful, or the opposite as dangerous, life-threatening, etc. <!-- Template:Unsigned IP --><small class="autosigned">— Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/80.235.51.119|80.235.51.119]] ([[User talk:80.235.51.119#top|talk]]) 17:09, 29 December 2019 (UTC)</small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
Please show calculation! I wonder how come Evolution/Genetics allowed humans to evolve to have such a nice brain? Why the capacity of 100 TB or even more than hundreds of terabytes, when in a lifetime only MB to GB orders? In past versions under history etc, capacity was listed as 125 MB
==Improving Long Term Memory==
Is there any way to improve your long-term memory? More precisely, is there a way to move an item from your short-term memory to your long-term memory? A good example would be memorizing words or characters from a foreign language: pretend you've placed an item in your short-term or working memory, and will forget the word within a set time period without routine drilling. Is there a way to 'cheat' and recal the information two months later without drilling repeatedly?
Practice! I know "rote learning" is poo-pooed by modern teachers, but it's actually pretty effective. That and use them as much as possible. Sorry, no shortcuts I know of! --[[User:PaulWicks|PaulWicks]] 08:53, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
* Repetition is one way. It is, however, time consuming and requires repetition over a series of days (at least 3days is recommended to be effective over more than a 24 hour period) and there is deminishing return in drilling over larger quantities of information. There is evidence that shows that the brain resists such drilling when the information is divorced of its practical meaning. Why spend resources on something that appears useless???
* Hence I will propose one alternative, make the memory exercises as practical as possible. if you actively apply the knowledge in a truly utilizing manner the brain will be more receptive to the acquisition of that knowledge. Successful application can also stimulate activity in the regions of the brain responsible for emotional response, also often termed '''value systems'''. These systems have been shown to effect the acquisition of new knowledge. The diffuse value system spreading from the limbic system throughout the brain has been implicated as being extremely important as a constraining system that controls our learning.
* Following this line of logic, I propose another tactic for memory acquisition, make the experience stimulating and arrousing. Find interest in the activity by pursuing it in interesting ways. For example with language, language acquisition should not be the end product you are pursuing, langauge is a tool used to reach other ends. Therefore, use the language you are learning to pursue your interest in another subject matter. Write about something you want to write about. Read about things you really want to read about. And speak about things you really want to speak about (attempting all in the second language of course). This practical use will make the mind more receptive to your attempts to store and recall the new vocabulary.--[[User:Scottmcmaster|Scottmcmaster]] 03:51, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for your coninued contributions. I appreciate your comment, I am not very well versed on wiki-rules of conduct. If I have written in error, I would like to know about my mistake.

i really think you should tell if the long-term memory is stored in the right or left hemisphere....that would probably help some kids out if they are doing research on memory... <small>—The preceding [[Wikipedia:Sign your posts on talk pages|unsigned]] comment was added by [[Special:Contributions/75.23.77.4|75.23.77.4]] ([[User talk:75.23.77.4|talk]]) 22:06, 21 January 2007 (UTC).</small

==LTM = 30+ Seconds ???==
I didn't think that the exact definitional boundary between LTM and STM was settled. In any event the point in the lead is not supported in the body of the article. [[User:DCDuring|DCDuring]] 20:21, 17 September 2007 (UTC)
Furthermore, the LTM mage says STM is 30 seconds, and the STM page says STM is 20 seconds.

== Aging effects ==
The aging effects on memory seem not to be covered though neurodegenerative disease are mentioned.
There is a recent interesting review which sheds some light on what may be happening

== Transition short-term memory long-term memory always neccesary? ==
I thought short-term memory is necessary for long-term memory, but the book 'psychology' by Neil Martin et al. mentions (without a reference) that this thought has been challenged. Does anyone know a paper that deals with this issue (if long-term memory is always preceded by short-term memory)?[[User:PsykHes|PsykHes]] ([[User talk:PsykHes|talk]]) 13:57, 13 January 2011 (UTC)
== Biased ==
This article seems to be mainly discuss long-term memory in humans and animals. What about [[Non-volatile memory|long-term memory in computers]], like [[hard disk]]s, [[CD]]s and [[DVD]]s, and more?

== Include Testing Effect Under Encoding Information ==
The testing effect can play a large role in how well information is encoded into long term memory, I would like to mention the testing effect in the section on Encoding Information as well as a link to the testing effect page.

== Lead section replacement ==
For several months, [[User:Ettrig]] has been expanding lead sections of articles using AI. Some are Ok, some look OK but are wrong and some are just blatantly wrong. As a result of this discussion, we are reverting these edits:
*[[Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents#User:Ettrig mass addition of longer leads.]]
There are 1000s of these to fix. In some cases (such as this article), pieces of the lead were subsequently edited by others. Unsure whether the lead is now fully reliable, I'm going ahead and returning it to its earlier status. If you understand this subject and are satisfied with the way it was before my edit, feel free to restore some or all of this material. <span style="font-family:Futura">[[User:A. B.|A.

==Rewriting Leading Section for clarity==
Outline of Proposed Changes
Rewrite the leading section to give a bit more detail about the topics that make up working memory.
Connect it or hyperlink it to other parts of memory that are talked about later in the article such as episodic, explicit and implicit memory.
Atkinson–Shiffrin memory model
According to the dual store memory model proposed in 1968 by Richard C. Atkinson and Richard Shiffrin, memories can reside in the short-term "buffer" for a limited time while they are simultaneously strengthening their associations in LTM[1]. <----- ADDED CITATION
