Memory researchers often use the three-store model of human memory. This model suggests that memory consists of three basic stores:
and that each of these can be distinguished based on storage capacity and duration. In order for a memory to be retained, needs to be transferred from short-term stores into long-term memory. More recently, researchers have proposed that some mental editing takes place and that only particular memories are selected for long-term retention. Factors such as time and interference can affect how information in encoded in memory. Learn more on verywellmind.com
We have created a working algorithm that helps to remember a couple: word-translation, word-picture, using knowledge of short-term and long-term memory. Find out more how you can learn languages effectively: learn to read, expand your vocabulary, train grammar structures.
