  1. What is Structure Strategy?Why does it work? Sometimes you read to enjoy a book. Sometimes you read to learn more and remember information. NARRATIVE EXPOSITORY

  2. What is Structure Strategy?Why does it work? It helps you remember more of what you read by giving you a to reach a . “Structure strategy” helps you remember more of what you read. STRATEGY GOAL

  3. What is Structure Strategy?Why does it work? a PLAN to achieve the … STRATEGY: ...GOAL of REMEMBERING more of what you read by identifying the… ...STRUCTURE used by the author to present her ideas.

  4. What is Structure Strategy?Why does it work? TEXT STRUCTURE An author uses a structure to present his ideas. Understanding the structure is the key to unlocking main ideas. This strategy helps you figure out the structure and then use that structure to ORGANIZE your own representation of the information.

  5. What is Structure Strategy?Why does it work? TEXT STRUCTURES 1. Comparison and/or Contrast 2. Sequence 3. Description 4. Generalization/Principle 5. Cause-Effect /Problem-Solution SIGNAL WORDS Each text structure often has distinct signal words which are clues to identify it

  8. What is Structure Strategy?Why does it work? STUDIES “Training older and younger adults to use textual cues that highlight conceptual relationships improved their overall recall of the text as well as recall for main ideas.  Training produced positive transfer to remembering everyday materials such that these individuals also better recalled details” Meyer, B. J. F., & Poon, L. W. (2001) . Effects of structure strategy training and signaling on recall of text. Journal of Educational Psychology, 93, 141-59. 

  9. What is Structure Strategy?Why does it work? STUDIES Seventh grade students and older adults were able to improve their reading comprehension and retention seven-fold. They also improved attitudes towards reading. Meyer, B. J. F., & Poon, L. W. (2001) . Effects of structure strategy training and signaling on recall of text. Journal of Educational Psychology, 93, 141-59. 

  10. What is Structure Strategy?Why does it work? STUDIES Student’s recall of an article comparing pygmy monkeys to emperor monkeys:  “The monkeys are the smalls Monkeys weghy Less 4 onces a few in. tall. ” Meyer, B. J. F., & Poon, L. W. (2001) . Effects of structure strategy training and signaling on recall of text. Journal of Educational Psychology, 93, 141-59. 

  11. What is Structure Strategy?Why does it work? STUDIES Student’s recall of an article comparing black flying fox bats to leaf-nosed bats after structure strategy training:        ”There are 2 different kinds of bats. A Black flying fox bat and a leaf-nosed bat. The Black flying fox bat is one of the bigest, they grow up to 6 feet wide and weigh more than 3 pounds. they are jet black.       Leaf-noised is smaller than the Black flying bat. the leaf-nois bat is only 1 foot wide. The leaf-nois bats come in different (colors) and mostley feeds on  masquitoes and moths.” Meyer, B. J. F., & Poon, L. W. (2001) . Effects of structure strategy training and signaling on recall of text. Journal of Educational Psychology, 93, 141-59. 

  12. What is Structure Strategy?Why does it work? Working Memory (WM) It relieves the strain on working memory, allowing more processing time and effort to facilitate transfer to … Long-Term Memory (LTM) It emulates the propositional heirarchy of LTM which enhances recall by forming propositional networks.

  13. What is Structure Strategy?Why does it work? Semantic maps represent relationships between propositions in the brain’s long term memory: Taco shell ground Beef salsa cheese delicious greasy stomach hurt burrito

  15. What is Structure Strategy?Why does it work? HOW WE REMEMBER Information presented to us is TRANSFERRED from WORKING MEMORY (WM) to LONG TERM MEMORY (LTM) LTM WM

  16. What is Structure Strategy?Why does it work? THE SIEVE AND THE SAND Working memory is extremely limited, so much of what enters your working memory is quickly lost. http://www.intelligencetest.com/stmemory/games/test1/

  17. What is Structure Strategy?Why does it work? THE SIEVE AND THE SAND • Structure strategy relieves the strain • on working memory by: • Using network-like representations of the relationships of ideas in memory • Using an image-like presentation of the relationships between ideas to spatially represent them. • Using linear orderings to keep sequential information easily accessible.

  27. What is Structure Strategy?Example “Beastly Bees” ________________ and ________________ are compared in the categories of ____________________, ___________________, and __________________ . Similarities in __________________ are _________________. Differences in __________________ are _________________. Etc. The problem of coexisting with bees in South America is dealt with by ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________.

  28. What is Structure Strategy?Example “Beastly Bees” Killer bees and honey bees are compared in the categories of sting potency, behavior , and sensitivity. Similarities in sting potency is that both have the same amount of venom. Similarities in behavior is that they both will attack when disturbed. Differences in behavior are that the killer bee is more sensitive than the honeybee ,the killer bee will chase you farther than the honeybee and that killer bee nests host up to 50,000 bees. Ways to prevent attacks include avoiding loud sudden noises, working at night, andsmoking them out.
