the book gives us a little more detail about where psychologists are in the study of it. I am amazed by the fact that as advanced as we are the author says we know very little about the physical basis of memory. It is also amazing to me when I sit here typing on the key board that I have trained my memory to hit the right keys with out much thought, most the time…. It also proves what the author says about our ability to improve how we retain materials. I guess my ability to type would fall under space rehearsal. Another example of spaced rehearsal and even mental pictures that comes to mind is my children’s ability to read a book. Actually they are not reading the book; they are looking at the pictures and remember what my wife and I have read them in the past over and over again. They both started doing this right before they turned 3 and it just completely amazes me and really shows how complex the human memory really is..
