Summary

Rule #6

Remember to repeat.

• Most memories disappear within minutes, but those that survive the fragile period strengthen with time.

• Long-term memories are formed in a two-way conversation between the hippocampus and the cortex, until the hippocampus breaks the connection and the memory is fixed in the cortex—which can take years.

• Our brains give us only an approximate view of reality, because they mix new knowledge with past memories and store them together as one.

• The way to make long-term memory more reliable is to incorporate new information gradually and repeat it in timed intervals.
