This overview explores the mechanisms behind long-term memory (LTM) formation and retention. It delves into brain processes, rehearsal techniques, and the significance of elaborative rehearsal and organization. Additionally, the encoding specificity principle, illustrated by Godden and Baddeley's research, is discussed, highlighting its role in memory recall. The topic also addresses challenges such as anterograde amnesia that can impede the transfer of information into long-term memory. Understanding these concepts can enhance study strategies and improve academic performance.
