= Analogies: = Long-term memory is to a file cabinet as short-term memory is to a desk.

= Mnemonics: = I remember the parts of long-term memory by taking the chart in the book (p. 175) and making a story: In my LONG-TERM MEMORY, I remember sitting on my couch and DECLARING that I want to watch an EPISODE of my favorite telivision show about a praying mantis (sounds like SEMANTIC). On the other side of the room, my quiet (NONDECLARATIVE) friend thinks about watching a show about cars (MOTOR) or listening to CLASSICAL music.
