The Memory Process

When it comes to the memorization of information, there are 2 main ways to process it; Iconic Memory and Echoic Memory. These go hand in hand with 2 specific learning styles popularly known as Visual Learning and Auditory Learning respectively.

Taking in information falls into these 2 memories, and that information taken will fall into the student's short term memory. this memory holds temporary information that can easily be forgotten but can be retrieved instantaneously for usage. In order for this memory to be stored it is encoded so that it can be transformed into long term memory which can also be transformed back into short term memory via retrieval.

Every student has the ability to do such actions but they are not able to utilize it well without proper guidance and techniques. However, these techniques can be learnt in this blog itself.
