CRCB - chapter 3

Chapter 3 is about Remembering What You Read.
Memory is the process of storing information, and as in any process, successive steps or stages is essential for it to work. To let new information permanently stored, you need to understand the main idea of the material you are been in contact with.

There are three primary stages in the memory process:

Sensory Memory (first stage of the memory process, enters by your sense, taste, smell touch, hearing)
Short-Term Memory (second stage of memory process, just for 20-30second)
Long-Term Memory (final stage. Information can’t be stored until it has passed the Sensory and the Short-Term Memory)

Some specific strategies examples to enhance the Sensory Memory are: visualizing information in your head, using your finger to point new words, read your text a loud, acting out a chapter in front of a mirror/ audience.

Moreover Thinking is an effective strategy, it works by condensing the amount of information you have to learn. That helps you to organize and remember new information so that it remains in your short-term memory long enough to transfer into your long-term memory. The most efficient way of storing information is to use such as organizing newly learned information, mastering difficult vocabulary, creating a memory matrix, connecting new information with information you already know, going beyond the textbook, reviewing, and teaching the new information to someone else. Mnemonic are recall techniques that can help you retrieve information once it has been learned and stored properly.
