Test Your Memory Knowledge

Study Notes

Memory is divided into three storage systems: sensory, short-term, and long-term.
Sensory memory retains an exact copy of what is seen or heard for a few seconds.
Short-term memory is where information is stored based on selective attention.
Long-term memory is relatively permanent storage based on meaning and importance.
Sleep plays an important role in memory consolidation, especially deep, slow-wave sleep.
A brain-healthy, memory-wise diet should include whole grains, fresh fruits and vegetables, and healthy fats.
Sleep deprivation significantly affects fatigue and confusion, impairing cognitive tasks.
Strategies for a good night's sleep include regular routine, exercise, avoiding stimulants, and relaxation techniques.
Your body clock relies on sunlight to keep you synchronized with planetary time.
To improve memory, make an effort to remember, get interested, and practice recalling information.

Pay attention and cultivate interest in what you're learning.
Be selective and organize information in a meaningful way.
Review immediately, recite, visualize, and associate to strengthen neural connections.
Allow time for connections to solidify through consolidation and practice.
Learn actively and in an organized way.
Tailor information acquisition to your learning style.
Involve as many senses as possible and relate information to what you already know.
Organize information and understand and interpret complex material.
Rehearse information frequently and overlearn it.
Be motivated and keep a positive attitude.
To remember important information, be active and involved in learning.
Use associations to help remember information.
Visual aids such as diagrams and tables can aid in memory retention.
Writing out vocabulary words, theories, or formulas can help with memorization.
Reciting information aloud can aid in auditory encoding and understanding.
Visualize teaching the material to enhance recall and understanding.
Reviewing notes after class and doing a weekly review can improve retention.
Reviewing information from textbooks within 24 hours and on a weekly basis can also improve retention.
Consistent review leads to less cramming before tests.
Studying for a short period each day is more effective than studying for many hours on a single day.
