Please pardon my title, and I'm sorry if you were forced to read it more then once. If you did you might have even encoded it into your memory, for which I am also sorry took up your valuable cranial real estate (just in time for finals as well). Even imagining how the brain can accomplish something like this still baffles me. By going through this class i have learned just enough to avoid my brain overheating while thinking about thinking. Although I am still far from comfortable with my understanding of the mind, i feel content with my grasp of the human mind. 5 years from now I feel that not only will I remember how I remembered this unit, but will be actively seeking information in this field to satisfy my curiosity. I look forward to the day when scientists have unlocked more secrets of this process, as I am still waiting for answers to a lot of my questions.

I learned so much this year about learning, no pun intended. Although this class didn't, obviously, describe everything there is to know about this interesting topic, I feel like the parts that we did discuss within this topic will be helpful later on. When it comes to school, knowledge about encoding can be very useful. Examples related to that, such as mnemonics, will continue to be used for the rest of my life.
