I guess for me the one concept that we have learned about that will stick with me in 5 years from now is going to be on memory and how we store information. Knowing things like the recency effect and how that affects memory will be helpful in tasks I need to complete in everyday life even if its as simple as going to the grocery store and getting food I can use the tecnique we used to make the objects fit into a story to be better remembered. So many more things we interesting to me but that stuck out as most valuable for me.
This is something that I will remember as well. It's amazing how our memory works and how vast our memory is able to be. I have often tried many tricks such as matching words up with other words to be able to remember them. After reading this book, I was very happy to understand more about how memory works and what tricks I could use to help me study and remember certain words.
