chap-3 Remembering what you read from CRCB

Memory is the process of storing and retrieving information and as in any process,successive steps or stages are essential for it to work.There are three stages in the memory process are sensory memory,short-term memory and long term memory.
sensory memory-is the first stage in the memory process.New information enters your brain via your senses of taste,smell,sight,touch and hearing but your sensory memory retains this information only for a fraction of a second.
Short term memory-
is the second stage in the memory process,like sensory memory it is temporary and limited in its' capacity.Information stays for about 20 to 30 seconds,but it can be stored in your short term memory for several minutes.
Long term memory-
is the third and final stage in the memory process.Information cannot be permanently stored there until it has passed through both the sensory and short term memory stages.The most efficient way of storing information is to use such as organizing newly learned information,mastering difficult vocabulary ,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.

chp-3 FACTS from TFY

A fact is something known with certainty through experience,observation,or measurement that can be objectively demonstrated and verified how that people agree corresponds to reality.This can only be determined over time with repeated feedback and testing.Facts are not the equivalent of truths or reality,they are best,only our decisions about what seems to be most real.Human beings need facts because they need certainties in order to proceed through the world.But we should not forget that human beings are fallible.It is our interpretations of what is real and true.
