It consists in the difference from short term memory which could be damaged after for example electric shock. On the contrary the long term memory is very sustainable and does not extinct even in the old age.

Cognitive psychology focuses on studying mental processes like memory, attention, and problem solving to better understand human behavior. Within this field, researchers investigate how information is processed and transferred from short-term memory to long-term memory in the brain to gain insights into learning and memory retention.
The three main levels of memory are sensory memory, short-term memory, and long-term memory. Sensory memory holds sensory information for a very brief period, short-term memory stores information for a short time without rehearsal, and long-term memory has a more permanent storage capacity for information.
The three main types of human memory are the sensory memory, short term memory and the long term memory. The sensory memory picks up environmental input, such as sights, smells and textures. If this information is deemed to be important, it is transferred to the short term memory, where it will stay for approximately 30 seconds without being rehearsed.
The hippocampus is the part of the brain that acts as a switching station between short-term and long-term memory. It processes and consolidates information from short-term memory and transfers it to long-term memory for storage and retrieval.

Mental resources is a term used in psychology to quantify the amount of "processing power" a human brain has. In cognitive psychology, the working memory is synonymous with mental resources, and is separate from the long term memory. This concept is essential to most psychology research involving learning, and is an integral part of Cognitive Load Theory.As a benchmark, research by G.A Miller has shown that the average person can hold 7 plus or minus 2 numbers at a time in their working memory.

The conversion of short term memory to long term memory is called memory consolidation.

Two subsystems to long-term memory include semantic and episodic memory.
