Long-Term Memory and Schemas.
The decoding of long-term memory occurs in the schema. A schema is a term used to denote a network like structure identified in the neuroscience circle as responsible for storage of long-term memory. Nonetheless, it remains imperative to indicate that both Long-term memory and schemas are theoretical constructs that differ from one subject to another. Nevertheless, both constructs are grown and built upon one’s experiences (Ghosh & Gilboa, 2014). Therefore the classification of schemas will be based on the impact of their relationship and classification of types of information.
