  7. Memory improvement strategies

  8. Mnemonics • Acronym: A word or sentence formed from the initial letters of the to-be-remembered list. • Acrostic: A poem or sentence in which the first letter of each word represents an item in the to-be-remembered list. • Rhyme: Groups of words with an identity and rhythm. • Chunking: Dividing a string of info into memorable chunks.

  9. Emotional memory Hippocampus Role in consolidating meaning and converting info from STM to LTM. Amygdala Attached to end of hippocampus. Important role in emotions.

  10. Method of Loci • A mental image is formed which visualises items to be remembered at specific locations. • Usually the locations are landmarks along a familiar walk or journey, or rooms in a familiar building. • That familiar place will be your guide to store and recall any kind of information

  11. Bower (1972)

  12. Organisation • Involves systematically structuring the info that is to be learned. • Info can be organised by use of category headings, hierarchies or spider diagrams. • Benefits both learning and recall. • Creates cues that aid retrieval, so recalling a bit of info makes the rest accessible.

  13. Bower (1969) Example of words organised in conceptual hierarchy Recall was 3.5 greater for organised condition.

  14. Revision and Memory Revise smarter, not harder

  15. English Literature: Fortnightly Cycle • Poetry: note making; concept mapping. • Short Stories: note making; flashcards. • Poetry: quiz; worked examples. • Of Mice and Men: quiz; concept mapping. • Short Stories: exam question. • Poetry: note making; exam question.

  16. What are your top three most successful revision strategies?

  17. What do we need to do collectively or individually to develop a coherent and effective revision structure for our new curriculum?

  18. Students (like adults) tend to be more confident in their knowledge than warranted, we would therefore expect that they will, on average, not study enough. People tend to think their learning is more complete than it really is.
