By using the word remember usually something to do with long term memory because we usually recall things from this memory. Every type of information that we receive or touch our senses are encoding into sensory memory and this memory will transfer into short term memory (short term memory will decay rapidly) and by rehearsal short term memory are stored in many different part of our brain as long term memory(this memory will be stored in our brain for a long time more then short term memory). So by remember something it mean we recall those memory that were stored in our brain.
