1. A wearable device for assisting a wearer to remember a piece of information encountered by the wearer, the wearable device comprising:
a processor;
at least one output device coupled to the processor; and
a storage device coupled to the processor;
wherein the storage device stores therein a plurality of software instructions; and
by executing the plurality of software instructions loaded from the storage device, the processor is configured to:
wait to receive a signal indicating that the wearer has encountered the piece of information that the wearer wishes to remember;
in response to receiving the signal, initiate generation of a sequence of reminders utilizing the at least one output device, each of the reminders in the sequence being a duration of output by the at least one output device for being perceived by the wearer and thereby reminding the wearer to make another effort to think about and remember the piece of information; and
temporally space apart each of the reminders in the sequence from one another over time in an increasing manner such that the reminders occur less frequently in the sequence as time goes forward, wherein a first time duration between a particular reminder and a prior reminder in the sequence is shorter than a second time duration between the particular reminder and a subsequent reminder in the sequence.
