How did you know if you didn't know? #1
Basically I am interested in a 'little' bit of psychology, and when I was having a short class about it, it was extremely interesting on a factor that he told us.

It was something like this:

"So, you've had a moment were a mates asked you something and expects you to return an answer, but you just can't figure the answer out, but you physically know that you've once known the answer - how do you know that you've known something but just can't figure it out"

Now this is a discussion that I think would be interesting, it's either an approach at two different sides, a simple way, or a psychological way.

Our psychology tutor is excellent - he's not like the practical standard teacher (work, write and leave) he makes it interesting, tell you some crazy story's and teaches you new things.

Also, he told us that listening to music is proven to make you write words from the song whilst you're working. <- This could end up bad if you're listening to a 'certain' song.

I think this has something to do with the memories/information stored in our long term memory banks and our short terms. Your brain can somewhat realize that you know the answer, but it can't retrieve it at that very moment. I've had moments like these, and I usually end up remembering within a few days.

Any ways, I'm no expert. Just my opinion Tongue
