Pour qu'une séquence d’information puisse dépasser cet état d’activation à court terme pour engendrer un état stable de stockage à long terme(la mémoire à long terme), deux catégories de mécanismes doivent entrer en jeu : des mécanismes physiologiques, qui dépendent du temps de présentation ou du nombre de répétitions et des mécanismes psychologiques d’organisation des informations. Quelles que soient les activités mentales qui accompagnent la mémorisation, le nombre de répétitions et le temps de présentation de ce qui est à apprendre améliorent la rétention à long terme(...) 1, record 4, French, - m%C3%A9morisation%20%C3%A0%20long%20terme
