Major factors that influence know responses but not remember responses include:
Context: Knowing information in a specific context is easier to recall than when it's presented in a general or abstract way.
Semantic connections: Connecting new information with previously learned knowledge can help increase retention, even if the new information is abstract or difficult to remember.
Repetition and review: Repeating and reviewing information multiple times can improve recall, even if it's difficult to understand initially.
Personal experience or emotions: Information that is personally relevant or emotionally meaningful can be more easily recalled than general knowledge.
Physical state: Being well-rested, alert, and focused can improve memory retention. On the other hand, being distracted or tired can reduce the effectiveness of recall.
It's important to note that while these factors may influence how much we remember or forget certain pieces of knowledge, everyone has a unique learning style and may respond differently based on individual differences such as attention span, prior knowledge, and cognitive abilities.
