Short Term Memory
Average memory of number is 7 +- 2 numbers. Mine is only 5. Memories tend to be distorted. Sometimes I am able to remember the beginning but not the end. Other times the order of the middle number interferes with my memory. To help us to remember things, use things that are meaningful and emotionally attached. Moreover, things that are visual are more easily remembered. Another method to help is chunking. Chunking is the breaking down of information into sections of groupings which contains a sort of pattern. With chunking a 7 number average can be raised up to 14 numbers.
