Brain processing can change short-term memories into stable memories {long-term memory}| (LTM) {labile memory} {secondary memory} {structural memory}. Short-term memory is process, but long-term memory is structure. Long-term memory involves interactions between two memory types: personal-experience episodic memory and fact semantic memory.
coding
Long-term memory uses mostly semantic code but also uses visual and phonemic codes. All three codes also operate in short-term memory but with different strengths and uses.
time
Long-term memory takes more than 45 seconds to form and can last lifetime.
properties: consciousness
Long-term memory is unconscious.
properties: interference
LTM can have phonological interference.
biology
Long-term memory involves cell changes and protein synthesis. Brain damage can impair long-term declarative and procedural memory but not short-term memory.
biology: drugs
After memory consolidation, drugs do not affect the memory [McCullough et al., 1999].
biology: electrical shock
After memory consolidation, electrical shock does not affect the memory [McCullough et al., 1999].
factors
Greater word concreteness, word frequency, imagery strength, and semantic similarity increase long-term memory. Phonetic similarity decreases long-term memory.
comparison
Perhaps, short-term memory and long-term memory differ only in retrieval method.
