A large part of the reason why we seem to forget so much may well be that, whilst our long term memory is virtually limitless, our short term, or ‘working’ memory has a much, much smaller capacity.

An original research into short term memory says we can only remember (5 to 9) pieces of information at any given time, though more recent experiments suggest it may even be as low as (4) four.

This is an interesting and informative post.

Good job!
