Professor: Well, knowledge is like a chain, and new knowledge is best remembered by linking
it with old knowledge. The more links you create, the more you remember.
Fu Xing: Professor, I often get some words mixed up, like “kitchen” and “chicken”.
Professor: Pay attention to details. Study how they are different from each other. You can also
create a picture for each word in your mind.
Peter: Hello, Professor, could you tell me why it is much easier to forget things to buy than to
forget how to ride a bike
Professor: Scientists are still working on this mystery. For one thing, the memory of how to
ride a bike is probably stored in a more stable area of our brain.
