Bear with me. So for example you forget words in a foreign language or someone’s name… what has happened to the information in your brain? Does it just…disappear after a certain amount of time? Does it get “stored” somewhere else and it just takes longer to retreieve the information after a while? Maybe a bit harder to answer…is there a reason that sometimes the information comes back on its own (you recall it independently) and sometimes you have to relearn things (for example, a foreign language you used to speak and have to learn again after not speaking it for months/years)?

Somethng important:
You can’t remember everything. Nothing can.
So, short term memory is like RAM in computers. It has to be constantly there for it to work. Same with mid term memory, except it’ll run longer because you’ve gotten used to it for a while.
Long term memory is di- no its not. It’d just take an extremely long time forget, just like the rest.
