(Answer) (1) When I attempt to memorise a long response or formula, it is beneficial to use mnemonics. Personally, I turn the response into an acronym that would be an easy to remember word or sentence. For instance, “My Very Educated Mother Just Sat Up Near Papa”, would be an easy way to memorise the names of the planets of the solar system that are: “Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto.”
(2) The first memory would be that of studying important dates in History class at school. It was always difficult to remember precisely the day of the “storming at Bastille” or the “Boston tea-party.” Although it was fairly simple to remember the year, the day, however, would always be something that one forgot.
Secondly, the issue of false memories is something one might experience when remembering the number of a bus. For instance, it might be a bus number 225, but upon recall, I might remember it as bus number 255 or something like that.
