Features of Long Term MemoryII. Tip Of Tongue (TOT) PhenomenonIII. Sentence MemoryCurrent LectureFeatures of Long Term Memory- LTM not limited capacity, more like scaffolding than a file cabinet- Content Addressabilityo Things of similar meaningo Category Clusteringo False Memories (the DRM paradigm) ex.

Burglar and real estate standpoint- Influence memory report- Example: Brewer & Trey (1981)Autobiographical Memory- Flashbulb Memories- Eyewitness Testimony- Infantile Amnesia- Alleged “Repressed Memory Syndrome”- Why is there Autobiographical Memory?o Socializationo Creation of the
