what is a great way to make a memory durable?
Imagine this: You and I are both trying to learn the sixty-four concepts from the introductory psychology course. I study the list for ten minutes on each of five nights. Each of those nights, when I start studying again, I’ve forgotten some of the content in the previous twenty-four hours. It’s frustrating; it feels as though my studying is not going very well. But relearning is a great way to make memory durable.
