How Memory Works: 10 Things Most People Get Wrong

See the article in PsyBlog

http://www.spring.org.uk/2012/10/how-memory-works-10-things-most-people-get-wrong.php

This is an intersting and stimulating article when viewed against our belief that users will have a lifetime external store for everything, thus changing the load and function of memory. The article is devoid of the fact that electronic memories are really taking over many of the jobs that would have been done by people with amazing memories e.g. librarians.

Here are the 10--

1. Memory does not decay

2. Forgetting helps you learn (for organizing more recent stuff)

3. 'Lost' memories can live again

4. Recalling memories alters them

5. Memory is unstable

6. The foresight bias

7. When recall is easy, learning is low

9. Memory, reloaded

8. Learning depends heavily on context

10. Learning is under your control
