Directions:This task is the same as
Task 1. The 5 questions or unfinished statements are numbered 41 through
45. In all human communication, information is sent from
one person’ s memory to another. No matter how the message is sent, it must
arrive in a form that can be understood, retained, and later recalled by the
brain. How do these three memory processes function Before answering this
question, we need to consider the fact that there are two kinds of
memory:short-term memory and long-term memory. Psychologists know a great deal
about the former kind of memory, but they know very little about the latter
kind. Your short-term memory can hold only five to seven "bits"
or items of information. However, unless you repeat that information to yourself
over and over again, you will forget it in less than a minute. This temporary
memory is used when you try to remember a name or telephone number that someone
told you a moment ago. Short-term memory plays an important part in thinking and
understanding. Short-term memory can become long-term memory.
The process is influenced by age, genetics, hormone and environment. But the
process of how many photographs are stored and later recalled still remains an
unanswered question. How can one prevent from forgetting information quickly
A. Write down what he got.
B. Recite all of them.
C. Tell the others.
D. Repeat over and over again.
