These work with short term memory but to know the information students must also activate long term memory which may begin in class with a review but should also includes well crafted assignments.
What can you do?The post continues by exploring ways to capture a students attention and ways to help them create a framework. The final section explores how to make the lesson stick. Three examples are below (quoted from the post).
* Begin lectures with a high level question that the upcoming information can answer.
* Highlight the "unfinished" nature of each subject.
* Don't use too many types of different presentation materials at once.

I love this image. It captures it all. Beth Dichter posts great stuff on a regular basis. I am really spending some serious time inviestigating this topic of buy-in by the students by givening them more ownership .
I like the analogy of a 'sticky lesson'... something that sticks in your head. That's the aim of every lesson... get what you are teaching to stick in the learners head!
