Investigation into the exposure to short term and long term memory and the differences between both. That there will be a difference between short term and long term memory to exposure and that there will be misread information. Abstract The aim and hypothesis of this study states there will be a difference between exposure to short term memory in comparison to long term memory. To proceed with the investigation the experimenters (students in this case) would have to decide on the participants

The Steps of Memory How to trace the steps from stimuli to long term memory is an interesting process from the beginning to the end.
