Long-term memory involves committing patterns of cognitive or motor information over extended periods for later recall.

“Longterm memory, of the sort that we're going to be talking a lot about today is your ability to commit certain patterns of information, either cognitive information or motor information. Right, the ability to move your limbs in a particular sequence. Over long periods of time. Such that you could remember it a day, or a week, or a month, or maybe even a year or several years later.”
