When we first learn something, information is processed by the brain to form a neural trace which first enters your sensory memory and then, if you’re paying attention, enters your Short Term Memory (STM). If you keep working to process the information and adapt it correctly, it then moves to your Long Term Memory (LTM).
The information which is processed into your LTM is more or less permanent and with occasional reviewing, you will not forget it.
The trick is to adapt the information that you really need into LTM as quickly as possible.
The ability to retain needed information in working memory is important to learning and exam taking performance. Drawings help to improve memory retention, comprehension and understanding.
