Types of memories:
- Intermediate term memory: info that can be recalled from minutes till weeks due to chemical changes in the memory neuronal trace (these chemical changes are called facilitation)
- Short term memory: info that can be recalled only for seconds till minutes from first stimulation of the nervous system
- Long term memory: info that can be recalled up from yours up to a lifetime due to chemical and structural changes in the memory neuronal trace
the process of turning a memory from short term into a long term is called consolidation
