Chapter 3: Memory




Memory
In Memory, our brain works as storage information so that you can recall information. Sensory memory is the storage of information which requires 5 senses in order for the brain to work. Through observation messages are being transmitted to the brain which is able to start recalling the events or happenings within our surroundings.

Short term memory is the ability for our brain to only recall information for a short period of time. Chunking is useful for short term memory because it forces the brain to remember groups of things instead of individual element to make the information easier to recall.

Long term memory is the ability for our brain to recall information for a long period of time. information can't be stored in long term memory if it hasn't gone through sensory and short term memory. Rote learning is the action of memorizing thing without understanding and doesn't help to store information in long term memory. Matrix on the other hand helps you recall information by understanding the data.
