.... the cannonball to it's target. A new way to make gunpowder into grains, instead of powder, was invented in the fourteen hundreds. In this method you would moisten it and pound it into a cake. Then it was broken into small bits and put into a sieve to be sifted. The pieces that came through the sieve were different shapes and would not fit together well enough to pack tightly, so that careful packing of a cannon was not necessary.

.... where the memory trace becomes eroded over time by an unknown physiological process, so it’s detail becomes progressively extinct. Often, each factor plays an equal role in memory loss. One way to encode information befre it is erased in short term memory is by a process of organisation. This means the individual groups together or pairs off the necessary information given in order to remember it (store it in short term memory) rather than learning information off at random.
