# TODO: working and long-term 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* from the process of [[roam:Chunking]].
|
|
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.
