There are two main kinds of memory: short-term memory and long-term memory. Short-term memory helps you remember things that you may only need for a short time, like phone numbers when you need to make a phone call. Long-term memory is the ability to remember things for days, years, or even a lifetime. So the real question is: How do you make sure what you learn enters your long-term memory? By using some clever memory techniques and leading a healthy life, you will see some great results. Let’s take a look.
Q1: What are the two main kinds of memory?
short-term memory

Q2: What are the differences between them?

How do you make sure what you learn enters your long-term memory?
