Memory involves storage of information. Memory also plays an important role in making connections between new and previously learned information.
Within any school subject, students use Memory to recall, recite, and remember the concepts, terminology, and information they are learning. Making connections is another important function of Memory. Prior knowledge helps students made connections to new concepts. To make connections students need experience with a wide variety of materials and information.
Memory involves the storage of social-emotional information as well as academic information. Memories of social-emotional experiences influence one’s capacity for Empathy. It is through remembering experiences of caring, that we learn to be caring individuals.
