Remembering What You Read >CRCB Ch.3 Summary<

Memory is the process pf storing and retrieving information. You will have difficulty remembering what you read if you do not know the stages in the memory process, and purposely use strategies at each stage to ensure that newly learned information becomes permanently stored.

The three primary stages in the memory process are sensory, shot-term, and long-term memory. Specific strategies you can use to enhance you sensory memory include the following: reading your text aloud, drawing from what you've learned, acting in front of mirror or class of what you've learned. chuncking is an effectiveness strategy for organizing and remembering new information so that it remains in your short-term memory long enough to transfer into your long-term memory.

Reflection:

I have a very short memory. I often forget things real fast especially if I didn't really pay attention. I have to make a notes for myself as I study or read all the time. I like to make a connection to it because it's really help with my memorization. The more I understand it, the more I can memorized it!
