Research on Memory: Major Discoveries, Major Educational Challenges.
Sylwester, Robert
Educational Leadership, v42 n7 p69-75 Apr 1985
Research identifies two interrelated memories--one that retains facts and symbols and one that retains motor and problem-solving skills. These and other findings challenge educators to determine what students should memorize, to help them move from random memorization to creating useful concepts, and to teach students to use memory in problem solving.
