To better understand how STM and LTM differ, first review Box 4.1 on STM, then consider the following questions on LTM. what is your oldest distinct memory?

What was the situation? how long ago did the event occur? what details do you remember? how confident are you that your recall of this memory is accurate? is there other information that you have known for a long time but don’t remember when or where you learned it? how do those memories differ from STM?
