Use mnemonics to remember names and faces, hometown, and other life information Biggest piece of advice?? Take the time to TRY to remember and pay ATTENTION!
ATTENTION!
Pay attention Verbal and visual representations Group information into chunks Use existing knowledge Think about meaning and make distinctive
Organization
Notice relationships
Elaboration
Generation effect
Make it personal
Limitations of Mnemonics
Take a long time How to deal with abstract info? Need creative ability Confuse info if use same device Does not help understanding of material Doesnt help memory in general Need to practice mnemonics to get better at using them
When mnemonics wont work or dont want to use them Use spaced repetition Group (chunk) information Make it meaningful Use retrieval cues
Any questions?
Or questions about my research?
Perception and attention Retrieval cues Rehearsal Distributed vs. massed practice Serial position Reduce proactive interference Maintenance vs. elaborative rehearsal Elaboration
Generation effect Association Self-reference effect Transfer appropriate processing Encoding specificity State dependent learning Dual-coding Imagery Organization Decay Interference
