Topic: Thinking and Memory

Start by writing an essential question related to thinking and memory here: (Consider what you already know about thinking and memory and what you think that you will learn in this module). (For this first topic, you have been provided a sample essential question to help you see how you can write an essential question for future topics. This question will also help you write the summary at the end of the notes.)

 

How does memory work and how can I use this information to help me improve my own learning and memory?

 

Cue/Questions	Notes
