What is the difference between learning and memory?

Learning is a process of acquiring knowledge or skill and memory is a fact of being remembered.When we learn a certain knowledge or skills we have to put in our memory in order not to forget them.We can learn and forget what we had learned.So nothing was stock in our memory.

Hi djoyce, i say good memory is very inportant .. because what we learn can fadeup after few days if we dont practise.. And if we dont practise we need to remember it and to remember it we need good memory.. this is what i feel... I have a bad memory.. i dont polish it.(work on it). that why i always forget names.. when i learn a name of the person if i dont relate things then i forget and then the memory also dont keep things or its deep buried under new things...

To me, most of what we memorize never actually becomes "learned". Memorization is simply taking in information and regurgitating it later. Learning happens when the brain can adapt the information to other things. For example. I've learned how to play the guitar because I can adapt what I've memorized to play songs or even make them up. Some people play specific songs that they have memorized, but they can't play anything else. How many people can "plink" out the opening notes of "smoke on the water" or the chords of "iron man", but can't play any other songs, even by using the same notes and chords?

Your professor is very right with his explanations. And because of this, it is quite important that you have a good and lasting memory in order for you to keep forever the knowledge you have acquired. Because without a good memory, learning will easily go down the drain and that would be a waste. Yes, I can learn even without memorizing but for me to memorize I have to learn first. That is as far as I am concerned so I believe that. Have a fruitful day!

Yeah you're right about that. Better to have a good memory to learn fast. Actually you can learn anything without memorizing it, you just need to learn by heart.But its also true that without memorizing it wont last.

I beleive that notion because if you didn't learn then you wouldn't have anything to memorize and therefore no memory and there is learning without memory because you'll still know it but not reMEMber it, and ultimately forgot leading back to no memory without learning. That is one smart insiteful professor.
