Memory is our ability to recall information. Our memory is something that is remembered. Each time a memory is created, its constituent parts are cataloged in the deep-brain structure known as the hippocampus. We have short term memory and long term memory.

Long-term memory refers to the process of storing and retrieving information, while long-term storage refers to the areas in the brain where the memories are kept (How the Brain Learns, n.d.)There are different categories that fall under long term memory such as semantic, procedural,eposodic, and emotional. Semantic is responsible for storing our knowledge. Procedural memory is responsible for knowing how to do things. Episodic is responsible for storing information about events and experiences.

Short-term memory and working memory are sometimes used interchangeably because they both refer to the storage of information for a brief period of time. This memory process deals with the storage, retrieval, and modification of information received a short time ago. Since short-term memory is limited, information has to be transferred into long-term memory in order for it to be retained.

Sensory memory is a short-term storage for information from the senses. It persists briefly and allows for processing even after the stimulus has ended (Cherry, 2023). Sensory memory's purposes is to retain information long enough for it to be recognized. Sensory memory allowing you to briefly focus on relevant details.

Memory's relationship to learning goes through semantic memory. Semantic memory is responsible for our knowledge. It’s composed of pieces of information such as facts learned in school, what concepts mean and how they are related, or the definition of a particular word (Psychology Today). You have learned something when it is coded in semantic memory for recall. Neuroscience considers learning the same as information in memory. When the information is retrieved the information saved in memory and can be recalled. It follows the stages of encoding and storage

Trauma can prevent information from different parts of the brain combing to make a memory which can affect learning when a scholar has to reflect on foundational skills of a topic. Trauma can shutdown episodic memory and fragment the sequence of events. Trauma can also affect emotionally especially when a person is triggered by something.

Trauma can affect a person's ability to focus which then affects their learning capabilities. Trauma affects a person's attention and ability to process information. It can also interfere with a person's ability to problem solve. Trauma affecting these things can lead to failing of the scholar.

One important way to help scholars improve their memory and retention is multi-sensory learning. Children learning the multi-sensory can help further engage them in the lesson. By keeping them involved, scholars get the information in multiple ways. Another way is to always reflect and repeat. It has been known that repetition is the best way to remember something. Always start the day and end the day with a reflection.
