HOW TO STUDY BASED ON HOW MEMORY WORKS
Memory works (to put it simply) in 3 stages: attention, encoding (storing/associating with other info), and retrieval(remembering)
To optimize the final stage, you have to optimize the first two stages. This means you have to pay attention to the material, and you have to encode it well. (Which I'll explain below.) Additionally, if you repeat the process, you reinforce it. By retrieving something, you start to pay attention to it again, and then you are able to re-encode it better than before.
To optimize encoding, remember GOAT ME.
G is generate and test. i.e., quiz yourself, or otherwise come up with the answers on your own without just reading them. Even if you get it wrong, it helps more than if you just read the answer off the bat, because you're forcing yourself to think more about it (why was it wrong?). Test yourself in a way that will resemble what you'll

    1. Most current studies aimed at understanding human memory are conducted within a framework known as information-processing theory. This approach makes use of modern computer science and related fields to provide models that help psychologists understand the processes involved in memory. The general principles of the information processing approach to memory include the notion that memory involves three distinct processes. The first process, encoding, is the process of transforming information into a form that can be stored in memory. The second process, storage, is the process of keeping or maintaining information in memory. The final process, retrieval, is the process of bringing to mind information…

    Memory is such an intricate part of our brain. Memory allows us to learn, recall, and store important life events. Memory is “the mental capacity or faculty of retaining and reviving facts, events, impressions, etc., or of recalling or recognizing previous experiences.” (Dictionary) Memory holds valuable information that has made an impression in some way or another. Just like our mind, memory is composed of multiple systems. The 4 most common systems are declarative, episodic, procedural and mental imagery. Episodic memory is memory from personal experiences, or memory that we see from our own point of view. Declarative is memory of facts, stuff that is true. This system is particular used for school, to remember items needed for tests, papers, etc. Procedural Memory is how we do things, like remembering how to cook or how to get somewhere. And finally, mental imagery, which I remember how things looked, like the shirt I wore yesterday was…
