II. Points to Remember 5 m

An interpreter needs an extraordinary memory.

The more “meaningful” the information, the shorter it takes for it to be committed to

memory and the easier it is to remember.

The studies of human memory usually make a distinction between short-term and

long-term memory.

The process of memory involves three stages: encoding information, storing

information, and retrieving information.
