Remebering from our basic biology lessons, we know that the brain contains *neurons that store information*.
|
||
|
|
These information can be connected together with *synapses that represents a web of thoughts* from the process of [[id:1e135aee-0464-4756-9f55-bbf12afe8254][Chunking]] information together.
|
||
|
|
It shows why [[id:9f1f35dd-7cf9-4f47-a9a9-b647e5daa2af][We are more associative than structured]];
|
||
|
|
indeed, we are very skilled in linking and jumping between ideas.
|
||
|
|
You may have moments of suddenly remembering that you forgot to bring something while in the middle of your nap or a Eureka! moment where you suddenly understand why the quadratic formula makes sense.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The memory can be compared to the muscles as it strengthens the more you use and decays the more you neglect.
|
||
|
|
In order for this to work, however, you need to set some time for the neural structure to harden first.
|
||
|
|
This is why cramming doesn't work and [[id:063dfd73-dbf5-437b-b6f1-d7aeca196f31][Spaced repetition]] is often considered a better method.
