The Storage in Short-Term Memory

The storage in short-term memory generally has a strictly limited capacity and duration, which means that information is not retained indefinitely. By contrast, long-term memory can store much larger quantities of information for potentially unlimited duration (sometimes a whole life span). Its capacity is immeasurable. For example, given a random seven-digit number we may remember it for only a few seconds before forgetting, suggesting it was stored in our short-term memory. On the other hand, we can remember telephone numbers for many years through repetition; this information is said to be stored in long-term memory. When short-term memory encodes information acoustically, long-term memory encodes it semantically. Short-term memory is supported by transient patterns of neuronal communication, dependent on regions of the frontal lobe (especially dorsolateral prefrontal cortex) and the parietal lobe. Long-term memory, on the other hand, is maintained by more stable and permanent changes in neural connections widely spread throughout the brain.

What are not the differences between short-term and long-term and long- term memory?

a) Short-term memory has a limited capacity while the capacity of long-term memory is quite huge.b) Short-term memory allows recall for a limited period; however, sometimes long-term memory can store information for the whole life.c) Short-term memory encrypts the information by meaning, but long-term memory store information in an auditory way.d) Short-term memory is relying mainly on dorsolateral prefrontal cortex while long-term memory usually uses the whole brain.
