  1. Improving your Memory: Encoding. Remembering information more consistently

  2. Effective Encoding • As many ways as possible: read it, write it, draw it, hear it, say it, sing it, visualize it. • Auditory learners, buy a little mp3 recorder and record yourself going over vocab/concepts. Take it w/ you when you go for a run. • Visual learners, buy a sketch pad and draw vocab/concepts. • Reading/Writing learners, buy some cheap notebooks and re-write vocab 3x times in a row, 7 terms a night.

  3. Organizing for Encoding • Chunking • Acronyms are technically chunks • Create Hierarchies/charts: build a web of knowledge based on connections.

  4. Mnemonic Devices/Techniques • For when you need the big guns • Mnemonic devices: memory techniques that assist retrieval through the use of organization and vivid imagery • Ex. Carl Rogers (humanist) as Mr. Rogers (friendliest human-being ever) • B.F. Skinner was a Beep-BoopBehavoralist (Behviaor is programmable, like a robot) • The more absurd, scary, annoying, shocking, the better. THE MORE VIVID, THE EASIER IT WILL BE TO RECALL

  5. Mnemonic Devices/Techniques • Auditory • Set terms/concepts to melodies you know well (ABCs, anyone?) • Alliterations: Ex. “Freud is a Fraud” (dream analysis can’t be proven), “Humanists give hugs” • Rimes
