Examples and stories are more memorable than explanations

  • We are more associative than structured; we easily weave a narrative on top of an idea or remember more easily because of a story
  • in my experience, legends and origin stories are often more memorable especially with the outlandish ones like the ancient Greek and Egyptian stories
  • in a way, we Prefer referencing over remembering
  • examples and stories are just one compact idea that tend to tune more into familiar things (e.g., narratives, analogies)
  • at times, we are also more creative than logical but it does not mean that Creativity and logic are not opposites
  • obviously, this doesn't mean explanations should be abandoned; Understanding comes first from memory and explanations tend to be one of the first things we remember when going back to a topic
