In this case, it's mostly about the additional perspectives on how learning works from the act of managing your information through various note-taking methods. I also restructured the note on org-babel and moved as its own note on the hierarchical notebook. I think summarizing a tool and giving my own comments about it is a nicer way of describing it. Plus, I can freely link between any other types of note so I figured it would be better. That said, I should be picky on how to make org-roam entries. And also org-roam v2 is better, after all. :)

The basics of memory
As for this note, we'll talk about the basics of memory neuroscientifically.
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. It shows why 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 Spaced repetition is often considered a better method.
