7.2: How Memory Works

If you're interrupted in any way, you might find that your attention suffers and that you have to start over in reconstructing the contents of your short-term memory
Long-term Memory: the capacity to retain and recall info over the long term (hours to years), is important to college success and can be divided into three categories:
Procedural Memory: deals with knowing how to do something, such as solving a math problem or driving a car. You are using your procedural memory when you ride a bike, even if you haven't done it in years
Semantic Memory: involves facts and meanings without regard to where and when you learned those things. Used when you remember word meanings or important dates
Episodic Memory: deals with particular events, their time, and their place. You are using episodic memory when you remember events in your life - vacation, first day of school, the moment your child was born
