Learning involves acquiring new knowledge or skills through experience or instruction. There are several theories of learning including trial and error learning where behaviors are strengthened or weakened through reinforcement or punishment, as well as observational learning where behaviors are acquired by watching others. Memory is the process by which information is encoded, stored, and retrieved over time.

Editor's Notes
#53: STM = Short Term Memory
New items are on hold -> Older items are forgotten.
Simplest form of forgetting.
#57: 1. Converting data into mental picture will help a lot.
Make the picture clear!!!
2. Give information some meaning and you will remember it better.
3. This is a good way of getting information into long term memory.
4. Funny images make stored information more distinctive and easier to retrieve.
