Has anyone found a way to improve their long term memory?
I have a great short term memory, and have done very well in all of my 1st year classes so far, but when I am asked to recall something from last semester I'm screwed and always have difficulty remembering. But, once I sit down and review the material it all comes back.
This freaks me out for the boards, though, as long term memory seems to be important for this test. Can't cram for that one, unfortunately for me.
Anyways, if anyone else is in the same boat as me and has any ideas about what to do with this, I'd love to hear it. I guess you can't really "change" your ability to remember things, but have you found ways to study that help long term results? (I know that cramming is not effective in the long run).
