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 the memory is limited, but also the amount of information that can be stored (and successfully recalled). Humans can store about seven numbers, six letters or five short words in short term memory at any one time. Memory for words depends on the length of the words and curiously, the amount of time required to say the word out loud is more important than the number of letters in the word.
