How to Not Forget What You Learn
Almost all of what you forget, you forget on the first day.
-
Forgetting curve
The forgetting curve shows that memory loss is steepest right after learning.
-
Testing effect
The testing effect is the memory boost from recalling information instead of rereading it.
-
Spaced repetition
Spaced repetition is a learning method where you review information at increasing intervals of time instead of all at once.
-
Levels-of-processing effect
The levels-of-processing effect is the finding that how well you remember something depends on how deeply you analyze it during encoding.
-
Working Memory
Working memory is the cognitive system that holds and manipulates information temporarily so you can reason and make decisions.
-
Memory Consolidation
Memory consolidation is the brain process that stabilizes newly learned information so it can be stored as a long-term memory.
-
Cue-dependent forgetting
Cue-dependent forgetting is failing to recall something that's still stored because the right cue is missing.
