Memory

"You may not believe in magic 
 but something very strange  
 is happening at this very moment. 
 Your head has dissolved into thin air 
 and I can see the rhododendrons  
 through your stomach. 

 It's not that you are dead 
 or anything dramatic like that, 
 it is simply that you are fading away 
 and I can't even remember your name." 

- Leonora Carrington, The Hearing Trumpet

Spaced Repetition

Leitner System

A simple spaced repetition implementation. The learners try to recall the solution written on a flashcard. If they succeed, they send the card to the next group. If they fail, they send it back to the first group. Each succeeding group has a longer period before the learner is required to revisit the cards.

Sensory Memory

1. Processes pretty much everything your senses detect or experience in the real world.
2. However, most of what it takes in is lost immediately.
3. What does stick moves into short-term/working memory.
