Memory

记忆

 

It helps to know how your memory works. Here is the key to memory: in any sequence, people remember the first and last things best.

 

Whatever you try to remember, you'll find yourself recalling the beginning and the end, with less clear memories of the middle.

 

You can't change this — it's wired in, it's how our brains work — so don't fight it.

 

Instead, use this fact to your advantage by organizing your study so the most important bits are at the beginning and end of your sessions.
