To be successful in school and college, you should understand types of memory and how to utilize it for your academic success.
Short-term memory: Is the process of temporarily storing and managing information required to carry out tasks such as learning, reasoning, and comprehension.
Long-term memory: Is the process of permanently storing, managing, and retrieving information for later use. Items of information stored as long-term memory may be available for a lifetime.
Applying effective studying strategies will help students move information from short term memory to long term memory.
Repetition: The key to learning is repetition. The more times you review material the better chance of learning it permanently.
