You can remember anything if you
organize it.
Understanding Memory
• Storing information properly:
• Without rehearsal or use, information is
forgotten
• The brain’s information retrieval
system:
association, repetition, rehearsal
&
mnemonic devices
3 Types of Memory
1. Sensory memory: gathered from 5 senses
2. Short-term (working) memory: limited to 5 – 9
separate facts
3. Long-term memory: you can store & retrieve
anything.
The true art of memory is
the art of attention.
Samuel Johnson
