The video that is above presented a few examples that assist memory and learning. Things such as sound, imagines, and certain events positively influence memory. The video described that the main factor that affects memory is the connections we make through the various experiences we have with our environment. Plus, we tend to remember things that are of interest and meaning to us. As James (1899/2001) said, "The secret of a good memory is thus the secret of forming diverse and multiple associations with every fact we care to retain" (p. 61).
