Memory problems

83% Normal

Is it normal to not retain most of what you hear or read? I feel as though I intake a variety of subjects about history or statistics. But my problem is I rarely retain it. I sometimes will remember about it for a few weeks but then it is gone. I use to know everything about WW2 a few years ago and now I can not remember many details. If I could infact retain everything I read I believe I would be quite intelligent. But my memory makes it hard.

    Normal.

    Most people forget about 80% of information they get within 10 minutes. Over 90% within an hour or so.

    There's lots of really good research summaries out there on what is normal memory. I suggest you do some searches and enjoy learning about it.
