Short-term memory works like a “holding area” for new information — that’s where you keep the phone number while you dial it. but if you can put the phone number into long-term memory, you’ll remember that same phone number next week. This part of your memory (34) ______ everything from irregular verbs to the names of all your cousins.

   When you study, you transfer new information into long-term memory. Every time we learn something new, the structure of the brain actually changes as we build new connections to information that we (35) ______ know. When there are more connections to the new information, it’s easier to find it again.
