• Short duration (1-3
seconds)

10. Long Term Memory

• Unlimited capacity
• Unlimited duration
• Contains visual or verbal or a
combination of codes

11. Comparison of Working & Long
Term Memory
Working
Very fast input
Limited capacity
5–20 seconds duration
Contains words, images, ideas,
sentences
Immediate recovery
Long Term
Relatively slow input
Practically unlimited capacity
Practically unlimited duration
Contains networks, schemata
Retrieval depends on connections
