Imagine your brain is like a messy bedroom. When you learn something new, it’s like putting a toy on the floor. If you don’t clean up (review), the toy gets lost under all the other toys. That's why we forget things so easily, our brains just get overwhelmed.
Examples
- You learn a phone number but forget it when you get home.
- You study for a test but can’t remember anything during the exam.
- You meet someone new, but their name slips your mind before the end of the day.
