Summary
Long Term Memory
This is permanent memory storage. Information is stored here after it goes through working memory. Common methods to get working memory into long term memory are Rehearsal, Coding and Imaging.

Working Memory
Working memory stores around 7 items of information at a time that can last for up to around 30 seconds.

Healthy Memory
Memory is physical, so exercise and healthy eating will help you mentally as well as physically.

Mnemonics
Using imagery, emotions, and chunking strategies to help and improve the way you remember information.

Remembering
Most memory is lost during the first day of receiving it. Reviewing regularly will help keep that information in long term memory.
