Short term memory allows you to remember something for some
seconds up to a small amount of minutes. It decays over time at
a much faster rate than our long term memory, in the case that
we don't recall... If we want to learn something so that we
remember it for a longer time, it is important that we associate
it with things we know or that we recall it often so that we
don't forget it. Yet another trick is that "chunking" too long
words or numbers into sub parts, preferably of length 4179428329
is easier to remember as 417 942 8329 (chunked, association -
telephone number) 01021768 is easier to remember as 01 02 1768
(chunked, associaton - day month year) Huzsundncov Woomi is
easier to remember as Huz sund ncov, Woo mi (chunked, syllables)
By recalling our memories, and recapitulating on the longer run,
we remember things. Note how the short term memory, the first
minutes, only increases because we keep recalling it. In the
long term memory, the rest of our time span, we see on the
learning curve that recall
