The memorization factors

Revisions are often characterized by an active effort of repetition of information. This mental work would transfer knowledge from short-term memory to long-term memory, for more sustainable storage. 

Nevertheless, the consolidation of knowledge seems to be easier and more lasting when the memory is associated with knowledge previously acquired; making it meaningful.








The process of memorization is also sensitive to 4 other essential factors:
  • Attention: the degree of concentration
  • The emotional state: the affective values attributed to the material to be memorized
  • Motivation: the interest or the need to memorize
  • The context: lighting, noise, smell, place...
