Short-term and long-term memory function differently, and different issues may affect each one. While occasionally forgetting things is a typical sign of aging, some memory issues may indicate an ...

Until now, it has been assumed that short-term memory is based on only one type of brain activity. The German-Chinese research team has now disproved this assumption.

In contrast, long-term memory is thought to be related to physical changes to neurons and their connections. This can explain the short-term nature of working memory as well as its greater ...

Undergoing mild brain stimulation for four days in a row improved short-term memory in older adults, including those with mild cognitive decline, a new study found.

Several years ago a hypothesis has been formulated, according to which capacity of short-term memory depends in a special way on two cycles of brain electric activity. Scientists have now ...

For a short-term memory to become a long-term memory, it must be strengthened for long-term storage, a process called memory consolidation. Consolidation is thought to take place by several processes.

"This gating occurs via a feedback interaction, whereby signals output from a short-term memory unit influence activity that is input to a long-term memory unit." "After a short-term memory has ...

“Short-term memory is likely composed of many different processes—from very simple ones where you need to recall something you saw a few seconds ago, to more complex processes where you have to ...

A short-term memory's conversion to long-term memory requires the passage of time, which allows it to become resistant to interference from competing stimuli or disrupting factors such as injury ...

Depression is associated with short-term memory loss. It doesn’t affect other types of memory, such as long-term memory and procedural memory, which controls motor skills.
