Unfortunately, our brains can be surprisingly efficient forgetting machines. Unless we use that information repeatedly, our subconscious labels it superfluous and dumps it at the first opportunity. This means that, if we want to remember information, most of us have to work to move that knowledge from short-term to long-term memory.
