How is the human mind faulty in remembering information?

The human mind is faulty in remembering information in a couple ways. First of all, our short term memories can only store seven items; therefore, we need to tap into the long term memo0ry in our learning strategy. In addition, at initial glance the sensory memory can only store information for a couple of seconds, so we need to make sure that the information can be stored longer through other senses. Finally, memory loss due to trauma makes the mind faulty; however, if we use examples that people can relate to their long-term memories instead of their short term memories there is a better chance that they will remember the information.
