memories declare)

accompanied by conscious remembering

Comparing Short-Term and Long-Term Memory Processes
 LTM is the system that is responsible for storing info for long periods of time
o An archive of sorts

Serial Position Curve:
 Indicates that memory is better for words at the beginning of the list and at the
end of the list than for words in the middle
o Primacy and recency effect
 Primacy effect
o Possible explanation is that participants had time to rehearse the words
at the beginning and transfer them to LTM

 Recency effect
