Remembering

"We study information and to keep it in the front of our minds, then once we use it, we forget it."


I remembered this on Tuesday when I was studying for my Economics test. At that moment I really believed that. We study to make the information stuck in our mind, then once the test is over we have no reason to keep that information on the top of our mind anymore.


We push that information to the back of our head because we no longer need it. I know, I do it all the time.


We may not realize it, but if we try hard enough we remember what we learned or what once use to be on the top of the mind. Something must trigger that information, like me cramming for this test did this information.

It is strange what we remember, and what we forget that we know.
