Learning and Memory Paper Learning and memory are undividable. The two go hand in hand and without both working together one would not exist. People learn through experiences and sensations and then they store the information as memories. Some memories are used more often than others, but all are stored away at one point or another. “Understanding how the brain is able to acquire complex new inf
