The content of the video is mostly the things we already learnt in class, for instance, the pieces of information we can obtain (5-9, average of 7) or the idea of information being grouped up in a chunk.
Philip Zimbardo constructed all sorts of experiments, both on himself and on the audiences to prove his statement. The amount of information we remember depend on many factors, i.e. concentration, motivation, etc. To improve one’s memory, psychologists suggest chunking. Instead of remembering 7 pieces of information, we can remember 7 chunks of information making the numbers add up more.
Your memories also depend on who you are and what you already know. Some of the subjects that we are totally interested in, information on those subjects can be remembered much more easily than those that we have to interest in. Long-term memory can also be lost through retrieval. Retrieval is when information is lost through lack of practice.
