What is Long-Term Memory

Chapter 1
Cognitive and Affective Perspectives on Immersive Technology in Education
Long-term memory differs from short-term memory or working memory in terms of capacity, duration and structure. Cognitive scientists believe long-term memory has a very large capacity. It can continuously store information and be retrieved later throughout our lifetime. Since long-term memory can last throughout our lifetime, it is believed to have long duration as well. Long-term memory is known for its almost infinite semantic network – a structure often described as schema. Within an individual’s schema, the information is connected through nodes (concepts) to form a conceptual network.

Learning With Immersive Technology: A Cognitive Perspective
Robert Z. Zheng (The University of Utah, USA)

DOI: 10.4018/978-1-7998-3250-8.ch001
Abstract
The current chapter focuses on the cognitive process relating to immersive technology in learning. By reviewing the cognitive theories in human architecture, the author argues that learners' learning can be significantly improved with technologies that promote deep processing through sensory immersive experience like virtual reality. Discussion of the features of immersive technologies is made in relation to human cognitive processing. Suggestions for future research and application of immersive technology in education are included to help educators and professionals to better integrate immersive technology in teaching and training.
