How to Remember What You Learn • how you learn • how short-term memory affects what you remember • how working memory affects what you remember • how long-term memory/reasoning affects what you remember
How to Remember What You Learn • How to use memory techniques • how to develop practice tests • how to use number sense
How You Learn • Learning by Conditioning and Thinking • Conditioning-physical and emotional reaction • Thinking-minimize emotional and physical reactions • observing • processing • understanding
How You Learn • How your memory works • Sensory Registers • reception, storage, retrieval through the five senses
How short-term memory affects what you remember • Capacity of short-term memory is limited • Ability to recall recently acquired information • Conditioning is not learning • okay for short-term memory recall • math taught to require thinking
How working memory affects what you remember • An increase in the time information can be recalled • Over-learning moves things out of working memory into long-term memory
How LT memory/reasoning affects what you remember • Organization • Concentration on, comprehension of, and understanding of concepts • Role of “Memory Output” • insufficient processing of information • test anxiety • poor test-taking skills
Stages of Memory Sensory Register Forgetting Lack of processing Sensory Input (Five senses) Short-Term Memory Forgetting No Rehearsal
Stages of Memory Working Memory Forgetting Info not Understood Long-Term Memory Forgetting Info not Reviewed Memory Output Verbal, Written Tests Forgetting Anxiety, poor test skills
How to use memory techniques • Good Attitude • “Learning Sense” • Visual • Auditory • Tactile/concrete • Multiple Senses • Selective learning • prioritize
How to use memory techniques • Organization • Visual Imagery • Make Associations • Use Mnemonic devices • words, phrases, rhymes • Use Acronyms
How to develop practice tests • Find out what you do not know before the test not during the test • Rework previously learned problems • Review previous tests • Find previously given tests quizzes • Group study sessions • Practice taking tests
How to use number sense • Is your answer reasonable? • Estimating • Rounding off • Put the answer back into the equation and solve again
