Memory is a powerhouse for academic success. Strong memory empowers students to retain information, connect ideas, and apply knowledge.

By understanding the different types of memory and cultivating effective memory strategies, students can improve their learning and achieve their academic goals.

WORKING MEMORY

Holds temporary information needed for ongoing tasks, like solving Math problems or understanding complex sentences. Deficient working memory can hinder comprehension and problem-solving abilities.

EPISODIC MEMORY

Remembers specific experiences and events. This can help recall historical events, scientific experiments, or literary passages very well.
