Unit Three: How people remember

19) Do not expect people to remember things on one page and enter it on another page. If a person is being asked to remember something do not have them do anything else or try to get them to remember anything else. They will forget it and become frustrated.
20) People can not remember more than four things at a time. Large amount of information need to be grouped together in chunks smaller than four. Most people tend to write down information they need to remember.
21) Repetition is what causes people to remember things. People remember things differently, they form connections from one remembered thing to another. In order to remember things people associate them with previously known things.
22) Try not to overload a person's memory. People tend to recognize what the information was about rather than the actual information.
23) A person's memory is easily disrupted. People remember things when they rest, sleep or close their eyes.  people tend to remember the beginning and the end of the information, they tend to forget the middle.
24) People's memories change. It can be influenced by the words that we choose.
25) People will always forget, and they do not choose what information they forget. Make it easy for people to find the information instead of relying on them to remember it.
26) Dramatic or traumatic events are remembered in great detail but that detail may be wrong. People tend to remember it as being true even if it is not true.
