Long-term memory
The long-term memory is the storehouse of information transferred from
short-term memory. It has unlimited space. Varied contents of information
are stored, namely:
1. Semantic memory is the memory for ideas, words, facts, and concepts
that are not part of the person's own experiences. Individuals with good
semantic memory include those who know the capital of countries in the
world, many words and their meanings, the order of planets, and other
facts.
2. Episodic memory includes the memory of events that happened in a
person's life, connected to a specific time and place. An example is a
student who can explain the details of his or her most embarrassing
moment (who were involved, when, where, why, and how it happened).
Long-term memory
3. Procedural memory accounts for the knowledge about how to do
things. A student teacher who recalls the step-by-step process of
presenting the lesson to the class has procedural memory.
1. Make sure you have the students’ attention. Develop a signal that
tells students to stop what they are doing and focus on you. Make
sure that students respond to the signal. Practice using the signal.
8. Provide for repetition and review of information. Using graphic organizers for
rehearsals can help.
9. Present material in a clear and organized way. Make the purpose of the
lesson very clear. Advance organizers can help.
