why do we remember some things( our name, recognize faces, basic facts) without effort but have to consciously revise difficult concepts?
In: 4
It’s harder to remember difficult concepts because when you try to remember them, you have to remember more words that describe them.
If you try to remember your name, your brain only has to remember one word, and that’s easier to remember because it takes up less space and it’s smaller.
(overly simplified but at least I explained it!)
