I hate to handwrite a lot of stuff so I purchased a book called Easy Script. If I were to say the same thing as above it would be - I ha t h/wr a lt o stf so I pchasd a bk clld e/scr. This is not to promote Easy Script but to say that I PR the book, this time through, and all the techniques came to me so much clearer and without having to give the retreival process much effort. Before PR, I couldn't remember a 1/4 of what I read and had to continually reference the book because a.) I didn't trust my choice b.) I couldn't remember the specific encoding technique. How well this remains in long term memory is a question, i.e., how rapidly will it fade without reinforcement.
What have others noticed as far as long term retention.
