What Are the Different Types of Long-Term Memory?

Memory is the process of brain system activity, which can generally be divided into three stages of memorization, retention and reproduction. Remembering is to leave the outside information in the mind through the sense organs; keeping is to keep the remembered information in the mind for a short or long time so that it is not forgotten temporarily or for a long time; recurring, including both Situation, when anything that has been remembered, when it reappears in front of itself, it has a familiar familiarity, and it can even be clearly identified and called re-recognition. Anything that is remembered is not in front of itself. To express it is called reproduction. Therefore, reproduction refers to the process of re-distinguishing and extracting the recognized material from the brain when people need it.

Memory classification

People need memory to learn and work in long social life and learning, but people

According to changes in memory content, the types of memory are: image memory, abstract memory, emotional memory, and action memory.

Visual memory refers to the type of memory in which vision plays a leading role in the memory process. In visual memory, memory is mainly based on shape impression and color impression.

Auditory memory refers to the type of memory in which auditory perception plays a dominant role in the memory process.

Olfactory memory type refers to the type of memory in which olfactory perception plays a dominant role in the memory process. Olfactory memory is a memory that ordinary people have.

Taste memory type refers to the type of memory in which taste perception plays a dominant role in the memory process. Taste memory is also a kind of memory that ordinary people have.

According to the view of information theory, scientists divide the memory into

According to whether mental activity is classified by will or purpose, memory can be divided into unintentional memory and intentional memory. (The "meaning" in it, the psychological explanation refers to "consciousness", and the problem of consciousness is very complicated. We will explain him here as "willfulness" and "purpose", only for mastery.) In combination with the memory process, also It can be further divided into four types: unconscious memory, unintentional memory, conscious memory and intentional memory.

Four characteristics of unintentional memory:

First, there is no purpose or requirement for memory;

The second is a will effort without making any memory;

Third, no memory method was adopted;

Fourth, the spontaneity of memory is one-sided.

Compared with unintentional memory, intentional memory also has four characteristics:

First, there are predetermined memory purposes and requirements;

The second is the will to make a memory effort;

The third is to make use of certain memory methods;

Fourth, it is self-controlling and creative.

Unintentional memory and intentional memory are complementary and can be transformed into each other under certain conditions. In other words, unintentional memory can be transformed into intentional memory, and intentional memory can also be transformed into unintentional memory. These conditions include:

First, the need to practice or recognize the task is the fundamental condition for the two to transform into each other.

Second, changes in information intensity are important conditions for conversion.

Third, the state of human subjectivity is an important condition for transformation.

Fourth, the proficiency of the acquired memory skills is a necessary condition for transformation.

Fifth, a high concentration of mind, followed by a relaxed mind, is often a good time to transform intentional memory into unintended memory.
