From concept maps to flash cards to Pictionary, these activities help students reflect on—and remember—what they’ve learned.

Recalling thoughts and feelings when a memory was encoded improved memory recall, but this mental trick has its limits.

Step 3: Retrieval During reconsolidation, or accessing memories, the structural proteins and receptors will disappear, information will be sent to the nucleus and as a result, more proteins will be ...

Contrary to memory retrieval, the act of making a memory, otherwise known as learning, can benefit from stress. This was initially discovered in research on rats who’d been trained to avoid a shock.

These findings not only deepen our understanding of memory encoding and retrieval but also provide insights into the hippocampus's role as a coordinator and its interaction with the neocortex.
