The Secret to Elaborate Encoding.a.k.aHow to studya.k.aHow to study for your final
The Steps Pay attention to the stimulus Create a meaningful connection Transfer the information Engage and repeat.
Step 1: PAY ATTENTION When you pay for something, you are giving something up—in exchange for getting something back. Really focus on the item. “Get back” something that was previously unseen.
Step 2: Create a connection Find a visual clue in the word itself. Think about things that remind you of the word and the definition
Step 3: Transfer You have the move the item from: the SHORT-TERM MEMORY CHAMBER to the LONG-TERM MEMORY CHAMBER. Anchor it to something you already know. Put it inside a memory you already have. Assign it a duty, persona, or symbol.
Step 4: Engage • Find a way to engage with the information: rote vocalization is not engagement. • Engagement ideas: • Creative/cognitive puzzles or rhymes • Kinesthetic “definitions” • Pantomimed review • Artistic/iconic cluing
