Experts believe that people can hold approximately seven items in their short-term memory for around 20-30 seconds. If that’s the case, how can you remember all of the important information you encounter throughout the school day? By taking notes during class or while you’re reading. This way, you don’t have to worry about trying to remember every little thing. You’ll be able to concentrate on what you’re learning and follow along, and you will have something to review and study later.
