Three types of memory
Some scientists believe that there are three types of memory—immediate, short-term and long-term.
Immediate memory holds information for less than a second, e.g. the name of a road you have just seen. Then it
either forgets it or passes it into short-term memory.
Short-term memory can hold about seven items of information at a time, e.g. telephone numbers. It holds them
for about 30 seconds. Then it either forgets them or passes them into long term memory.
Long-term memory can hold information for the whole of our lives. Some scientists believe that there are two
types of long-term memory. One type remembers events, e.g. the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games. The other remembers
knowledge, e.g. the names of countries or the meanings of words.
