It is very hard to remember new information without coding it into your brain. Coding means that some kind of association or rehearsal of information takes place. Some people code phone numbers by saying them over and over again. Other people use mnemonic devices to remember them. The reason this is so is that it s hard to remember new information without having something to associate it to.
People don t have much to associate numbers to.
Now you have an idea of what the conscious mind is and what we mean when we say those words. The conscious mind changes from moment to moment and it is what you are aware of, now. The unconscious mind is very different from the conscious mind. The unconscious mind is the repository for every piece of information you have ever learned and experienced. Some information that you have learned or experienced is very difficult to recall.
