Document Summary
The more you repeat it the first day the less you have to repeat it the next day to. We get 11 million bits of information thrown at us at a time only use about 0. 3 % relearn it of it. We use only a very small portion of it. Only a few tenths of a second for visual stimulus and a couple seconds for auditory stimulus. We want to move information gathered to our short term memories. How we treat short term information can drastically change how we use our memory. It"s not a problem in stocking the information it"s to remember it while conscious. Mentally picturing something while repeating it over and over again can help https://en. wikipedia. org/wiki/exceptional_memory. Hippocampe et les lobes frontal are the biggest contributors to receiving, stocking and storing information. Stress hormone secretion from negative emotions activate the amygdala and this can influence the formation of certain memories (events that bring fear, panic, or anger)
