The study of biology is especially good for building memory-management skills. Biology is a complex web of knowledge, with thousands of connected ideas. The daily flood of information can bury what you learned a week before. You may know a fact, only to find that it does not come to mind when you need it. In biology, memory management can determine whether you succeed or fail in solving problems.
Human memory seems to store idea in networks, where many items are linked.
The list might include wheel, pedal, street, theft, etc. These ideas are part of a network that has bicycle as one element. Exams in biology can show a great deal about the way you build and use memory networks. The memory search is short because the term and its meaning were learned together. Other questions involve longer memory searches, combined with reasoning.
