Brain Rule #6: Remember to repeat.

Isn't this what we learned already? Only if you forgot that repetition helps convert short term memories into long term memories.

To make our long term memories more reliable, we must continually incorporate new information gradually and then repeat this information in timed intervals.

Brain Rule #5: Repeat to remember

No discussion of the brain would be complete without details about memory. Medina points out that in order for researchers to assess memory, they ultimately measure recall.

Because of this, we know that we have multiple memory system in our brain. One uses a four stage process: encoding, storing, retrieving, and forgetting.

To strengthen our memories, particularly converting short term memories into long term memories, repetition is key to later recall.
