Foremost to any skillful work such as the development of web sites or writing of reports is the memory process we all possess.
Your memory has two main parts a n active component working with active thoughts foremost in your mind and longer term storage for facts events and learned skills. There are five (5) types focused on here
1. procedural skill based
These include mental and physical skills acquired over time, such as swimming, riding a bike, writing reports, or using a using computer keys. much of this comes "naturally without conscious selection for application.
2. working short term
Temporary in nature this is our routine recollection involving selection of meal items, what to say and so on.
3. episodic personal event
Recollection of special life events such as anniversaries, birthdays and holidays. You can associate family and friends with these bringing pleasant or unpleasant recollections.
4 semantic fact based
Based on general knowledge learned in life that is usually categorized such as; What is the capitol of the United States?; or math tables.
5. Long term large storage
a large amount of the events in your life plus all the things largely not in ready access. this large store of knowledge is what consists of long term.

Another thing I learned about adult education is that when a network of neurons are formed after learning a new skill, if it is consistently used, the brain will coat that network with a protective coating. If you then don't use the skill, as in high school Spanish, the coating is washed away so that network of neurons are then free to form other skill sets, such as computer skills.
Great read, thank you for sharing. I will let you in on a secret. My mother has Alzheimer's and started quite early at 65. This terrifies me and one of the reasons I started my online journey was that I knew it would keep my brain active and challenged. I knew total zero before I started and now I am challenged every single day and for me that is a really good thing.
With Grace and Gratitude

This is great information as usual, but the only one you left out Mike was Selective memory! ;-)
