Instruct students to work together to do preliminary research on snakes in order to discover which type of snake each individual student would like to study in depth. 4. Have each student submit a list of three snakes, in order of preference, that he or she would like to study. Then make assignments, so that there are no duplications. 5.
Long-Term Memory. A long-term memory is anything you remember that happened more than a few minutes ago. Long-term memories can last for just a few days, or for many years. Long-term memories aren't all of equal strength. Stronger memories enable you to recall an event, procedure, or fact on demandâfor example, that Paris is the capital of France. Weaker memories often come to mind only through prompting or reminding.
The Duration of Short-Term Memory. Most of the information kept in short-term memory will be stored for approximately 20 to 30 seconds, but it can be just seconds if rehearsal or active maintenance of the information is prevented. Some information can last in short-term memory for up to a minute, but most information spontaneously decays quite quickly.
