  Retention is the ability to retrieve past information or events that have previously gone through human experience, and it is the fixed effect that remains after experience or experience, and the effect remains on the brain for a period of time. I left the best impact, and memory is the container and box in which each person stores all the information and experiences that he acquires from the outside world around him, and it is divided into three types:

First: Sensory memory: It is through which we receive and receive all the information that revolves around the things surrounding us through the five human senses such as hearing, tasting, smelling, touching and sight. seconds, for example, when a person sees (someone) on the road only once and is unable to focus on his features, and therefore he will not be able to keep them for a large period of time.

Second: Short-term memory: It receives information from sensory memory and then processes it in this memory in order to send it to long-term memory. It is preserved like hearing the phone number, for example.

Third: Long-term memory: It is the memory that stores information for a long period, and one of its advantages is its ability to absorb a large amount of information. Because it can keep information for a long time.

  Memory is closely related to learning. Without memory, learning does not occur, and memory means retaining information and retrieving that information when needed. Memory is generally measured by the Excellence and Retrieval Test, represented by the scores obtained by each (student) after repeating the test itself after a period of time from the test. the first .

  Retention gives us the meaning of remembering in retrieving or recalling what students have learned from experiences, experiences, information and others during a certain period after learning and acquisition. There is an ability to retain and remember, and there are factors that affect retention, including:

1-If students are more mature, intelligent and experienced, they learn at a remarkable speed and retain information at a greater and better level.

2-The material with meaning is retained by the students more than the material that does not have a clear meaning.

3-The internal links that exist to organize the learned material and its relevance to the learner himself, not only facilitate learning, but are useful or easy to retain well.

4-The student’s level of intention to learn affects the level of information retention, as well as the rate of the original learning.

5-Through re-teaching and reviewing, the process of enhancing information retention takes place.

  Learning leads to raising students’ achievement and achieving their retention of educational experiences through their mastery of their school duties and the transmission of the impact of learning, and the need to repeat the progress of experiences, information, concepts and skills for students so that they can store and retain them appropriately and remember them easily and easily.

  Retention gives other terms that give the same concept of retention, and they have been used in some educational and psychological studies and research, such as (retention, deferred collection or deferred collection..), and they do not differ from retention in anything, as they all share one goal, which is to know the information that can be Students remember it and recall it after a certain period of time.
