MEMORY AND LEARNING
In this article we will discuss memory which is part and parcel of the learning process.This is partly because unless past experience can be remembered, it is not possible to conclude that learning took place. Memory is very important in our lives because without it we will not be able to get to places, make progress in school work, remember our names and so on.We think and reason using remembered facts (Mwamwenda, 1995).

A simple note guide for psychological disorders covered in AP Psychology. One column has students write the characteristics of each disorder and the other column has students fill in other facts and data concerning the disorder.
