Following on from the previous episode about learning styles, this week on Learning For Legacy, Afam discusses how memory works and how that influences creative thinking. Find out all about the different parts of the brain, what they're responsible for, and what the four Rs of memory are. 

KEY TAKEAWAYS 

• The lower brain controls our instincts, things that come naturally like breathing and our heartbeat. These are functions that happen without us consciously making them happen. The central brain, or the limbic system controls our emotions. The upper brain, or cortex, is responsible for thinking, seeing, reasoning, and creating. The little brain, known as the cerebellum, controls coordination and balance. 
• You will learn quickly when both the left and right sides of the brain are stimulated. Advertisers use this fact to make you remember their product, by using music and words it engages both sides of the brain. 
• Short term memories are stored and triggered using association. Long term memory is retained through repetition. 
• The four Rs of memory are review, registration, retention, and recall. 
• We tend to recall more at the beginning and end of learning periods and less in the middle. This has led some to put forward the idea that we need a break from learning every thirty minutes to an hour. 
• We can learn better by reviewing what we've learned after ten minutes, then reviewing again after a day, and third review a week later, then a final review a month later.
   

BEST MOMENTS

‘That's why you remember those bad songs advertisers use' 

‘The more visual and expressive and almost ridiculous you make an image seem, the better you will remember'
