Memory is divided into three stores: sensory memory, short-term memory, and long-term memory.

 

Atkinson and Shiffrin (1968) claimed that information enters sensory memory and only lasts for approximately 200-500 milliseconds before fading. However, the information will transfer to short-term memory if strong and deliberate attention is paid to it.

 

George A. Miller (1956), a cognitive psychologist, provided evidence for the capacity of short-term memory, known as Miller's Magic Seven. He called it the Magic Number Seven. He discovered that most adults could store between 5-9 items from our sensory memory to short-term memory, which has about 18 - 30 seconds of duration and a limited capacity of 7 focal points, plus or minus 2. 

 

If it passes the short-term memory test, the rehearsal process can begin, which transfers the learned skill to Long Term memory. Without rehearsal and strong, clear focal points, it is forgotten. The more something is rehearsed while having strong and clear focal points,  the stronger the memory trace. Long Term Memory (LTM) is said to have unlimited capacity.

Welcome! Im Alison Thietje. If traditional instruction hasn't worked well for you, Mind2Motion (M2M) is your answer.  M2M instruction integrates modern brain science with the "KEY Four" foundational Body Movements that govern ALL swing-sport mechanics. The "Key Four" movements are on weekly display by professional athletes, but we've found it hard, if not impossible, to duplicate that key movement in amateurs. That is, until the development of M2M.  The genesis of the M2M was designing and implementing golf-fitness programs for Tour Pro golfers such as Tom Watson, Justin Leonard, Brad Faxon, Stewart Cink, etc...Over time,  it evolved from golf-fitness to swing mechanics by using the same laws/principles used for fitness programs; now called the TG Body Movement Laws. The results? Unprecedented in the sports mechanics/instruction world. (Visit me on YouTube: Mind2Motion Golf.) I've taught the "Key Four" athletic movements to athletes in the following sports with shockingly accurate results: Golf, tennis, pickleball, soccer, baseball, equestrian sports,  and hockey. My tagline is: "Just Try it!" What do you have to lose?
