What will improve a student's memory?
Most students are uneducated about how their memory works
How can I commit things to memory?
You remember the things you think about
You do not control what is stored in your memory
The first principle is that memories are formed as the residue of thought
you remember what you think about.
How can I avoid forgetting the things I have commited to memory?
Forgetting happens over time
sometimes memory isnt gone, its just hard to access
make cues to get to the memory
cues are bits of information that are the starting point for retreving a memory.
poor cues will not gain you acess to the memory
cues that come from the enviornment are usually good
space your studying over time so you dont forget it.
