What'd you learn from that book, OP?

Well, he explains what memory is and how it works in the first part of the book, so I got that from it.

Then come learning and memnonic techniques which I, to my own disadvantage, only partly and rarely used because I was too lazy and didn't think about improving my learning habits.

It helped me memorize nonsensical facts I sometimes have to learn, language learning and learning in general I would like to think.

To put it more generally, spend some time thinking about your learning habits.

Milton Friedman and John Stossel books. I wish Stossel would try a fiction novel though.

Sounds cool. How does he end up defining memory? It seems awfully intuitive and obvious to just say "things you are capable of recalling" or something like that.

I think I worded >>8926111 a bit carelessly.

What memory is?
'The word memory is merely an abstraction that refers to a process rather than a structure.'

He doesn't spend too much time on giving an explicit definition that I could repeat. Anyway, there is surely more up to date information to be found as he often cites papers from the 80s or earlier. When he writes about what memory is, he goes over information processing, short- and long-term memory and the measure (recall, recognition and relearning) of memory.
