π *4 things psychology says about memory & learning*
1. *We remember the beginning and end of a list best* β The primacy and recency effect means the middle of any sequence is what tends to be forgotten first.
2. *Context can help or hurt recall* β Being in a similar environment (or even mood) to when you learned something can make it easier to remember.
3. *The forgetting curve is steepest right after learning* β Without review, we lose the majority of new information within the first 24 hours β which is why early repetition matters most.
4. *Multitasking while learning weakens retention* β Splitting attention during encoding measurably reduces how well new information sticks.
