Q8: 'The Science of Memory' - Read the passage aloud

Memory helps us learn, grow, and make decisions. But how does it work? Scientists say memory involves encoding, storing, and retrieving information. Short-term memory holds things briefly, like a phone number. Long-term memory stores facts, experiences, and skills. Sleep, nutrition, and repetition all affect how well we remember. Students use memory techniques like mnemonics and flashcards to study. But memory isn’t perfect—it can fade or change over time. Understanding how memory works helps us improve learning and appreciate the complexity of the human brain.
