Memory Retention - Short and Long Term

The hippocampus functions as a bridge between short- and long-term memory. New material is transferred to long-term memory while we sleep.

Many act completely wrong before exams. They fill up the limited hippocampal memory until late at night and then sleep too little, so the hippocampus cannot do its job properly. Everything that could not be transferred to the cortex is ruthlessly displaced by new material and lost.

We cannot remember anything long term by pure memorization without understanding. Cramming is mere pseudo-learning.
