  1. Name: Catherine Mendoza • Title: Test your long term memory in Beat the Expert • Main objective: • Reflect on Cognitive Information Processing Theory – Long term memory. Students will test their long-term memory.

  2. Beat the Expert • Introduction • Discuss the Long-Term Memory as a Cognitive Information Processing Theory • Materials Needed • Printed handout with statement questions about the subject material. • Overhead (if necessary) • Blackboard (if necessary) • Basic description • See below activities and procedures. • Steps of implementation and delegation of responsibilities for each individual • Conclusion and transition statement from introduction to main activity

  3. Grade Level: 11th grade High School (can be modified to any grade) • Overview: This is alternative activity to do instead of a boring lecture on a particular subject (for example, learning about the life of a deceased president, or the Constitutional amendments), especially one that your students claim they have already learned at one point in their lives. This activity can be used in place of a lecture on new material, or as a follow-up to a reading assignment.

  4. Activities and Procedures: • Prepare a handout with an odd number of statements about the subject material. (Nine, eleven or thirteen statements will work well to avoid a tie. This can also be written on the board or on an overhead.) Write the letters “T” and “F” next to each statement. • Pass the handout to the students, and have them take a minute or two to circle either true or false next to each statement. • Let the students know that they are now going to test their knowledge of the subject in a round of “Beat the Expert.” Label two scoring columns on the board, one for “The Expert” and one for the students. • Inform you students of the spectacular prize awaiting them if they succeed in defeating “The Expert”. Awards can be anything, from extra credit points to extra computer time privileges. • Begin the game. Read each statement, and then ask how many students believe it is true. If it is not evident what the majority is, then ask how many believe it is false. Encourage the “silent” one that everyone must make a choice.

  5. 6. If the majority of the students are correct, they score a point. If the majority is incorrect, “the expert” receives a point. • If necessary, briefly explain why each phrase was true or false, or for additional interactivity, have a student explain. • Whoever has more points at the end of the statement round wins. If the expert wins, definitely revel in the win (this will get them pumped for the next time you play). If the students win, compliment them on their good sportsmanship. • There are two things which seen to make this activity more exciting. First, play up the rivalry in a good-natured way. Get really boastful while you’re playing the game. Second, feel free to make questions as elusive as possible. If this activity is being done as a follow-up to a reading assignment, make the questions tough on the material you want them to know.

  6. Catherine Mendoza presentsBeat the ExpertLet’s test the Cognitive Information Processing theory by using our Long-Term Memory and challenging what you really know. Begin

  7. Someone in our class was born and raised in Japan. True False

  8. One of our classmates is currently living in Germany. True False

  9. Someone in our class is currently pregnant with triplets. True False

  10. Two of our classmates are married to each other. True False

  11. Someone in our class is a nationally registered paramedic. True False

  12. Including the professor and myself, there were 13 females and 3 males in the class this semester. True False

  14. One of the students in this course had a picture of herself golfing in their technology orientation profile PowerPoint. False True

  15. All of the students in this course are in the Master’s of Educational Technology field. False True

  16. Someone in our class received their BA from the University of Nevada-Las Vegas. False True

  17. Nice try! Try again next time. Maybe it’s time to start working on that long-term memory.

  18. Well done!You beat the expert this time, but I’ll get you next time.You have mastered long-term memory.
