Discover the educational learning nuggets (or snacking) to better memorize, anchor and revise daily.

Memory functions?

INSERM (French National Institute for Health and Medical Research) has published a paper on these types of memory, which rely on different neural networks.

The aim is to understand how memory functions influence our ability to record, delete or update information.

5 types of memories

  • Working memory: which is a representation of information stored and used in the short term (at the heart of the neural system).

  • Semantic memory: linked to expressions, signs and more generally to language or speech.

  • Episodic memory: to capture moments in space and time based on personally experienced events.

  • Procedural memory: which allows us to automate daily or regular tasks without having to relearn.

  • Perceptual memory: linked to our different senses.

Of course, you can find the complete file on the 5 types of memories on the INSERM website. We are not inventing anything here, all credit goes to the INSERM researchers.

Microlearning and memory management

Microlearning is, by definition, a short training action, requiring a few minutes (3 to 5 minutes) to learn, revise, embed or to generate interest.

In this sense, microlearning avoids overloading the learner’s working memory.

The various findings and generational conflicts are not irrelevant, on the contrary: working and entertainment times or breaks have changed considerably between generations X and Y-Z.

Productivity times are shorter and much more repeated over time for generations Y-Z.

Finally snacking could be good for your mental health!

This is one of the principles on which microlearning is based: the consumption of educational content over time.

All of this is done without overloading our learners’ working memory. This keeps them productive, focused and available.
