Your brain must do some work (effortful processing) to

Your brain must do some work (effortful processing) to encode information and move it into short-term, and ultimately long-term memory. This has strong implications for a student, as it can impact their learning - if one doesn't work to encode and store information, it will likely be forgotten. Research indicates that people forget 80 percent of what they learn only a day later.
