thesis excerpts: the spatial memory

A process takes place when we take notes and the type of interface we use to do it makes a difference: “The hippocampus is crucially involved not only in memory encoding and retrieval processes but also in spatial memory itself” (Umejima et al., 2021). (..) Throughout my research, I discovered how much it is important, for recovery and reviewing reasons, where I specifically write words or sentences. Recently, I found myself scared of forgetting because the pages of an unfitting notebook did not allow a proper instinctive positioning of the content while taking notes.
