Short Term Memory: This type of memory is also temporary though not at short lived
like immediate memory. In short term memory (7±2 – The Magic Number given by
George Miller) items can be recalled for at 20-30 seconds.
Long Term Memory: It is called the store house where information is stored almost
permanently. Long-term memories are often outside of the conscious mind. Not all
long-term memories are created equal. Memories that are frequently accessed become
stronger and easier to recall. Long Term Memory has a limitless capacity with little or no
decay.
