Concentration and Memory
"Memory depends very much on the perspicuity, regularity and order of our thoughts. Many complain of the want of memory, when the defect is in the judgment; and others, by grasping at all, retain nothing"
Thomas Fuller
Students frequently express concern about their memory. They worry that it is not as good as another student's or that it has grown worse with age. While some students may have unusually good memories, we all have to work to retain information. Memory and recall degrades quickly. Consequently, it is helpful to build a process of reviewing into one's study habits. (See note-taking.) To learn more about memory and to make the most of your memory, see the information below.
