Memory… 1.SENSORY : Instantaneous, what you experience: ex. “I smell brownies.” “I hear my professor.” 2. SHORT TERM MEMORY : Can stay in your brain for a few minutes, maybe less, if not rehearsed: ex. “She said there are two more seminars” “ That’s a good idea.” “ , …” 3.LONG TERM MEMORY : Can recall on day to day basis, when info is meaningful to you, when you are actually involved in the learning process: ex. “My student ID and password are…” “The phone number for Domino’s is…” “ Today’s lecture was about Monet. Last week we talked about Renoir, and they are different because…"

“encoding is the key from sensing to my memory” Finding a way to store information: by sound, look, or meaning of words

Memory, the Retriever Regular Rehearsing, Revisiting,and Reviewing of Material will Help You Retrieve the Information when You Need It!

Cycle of remembering… store it rehearse it retrieve it

Mnemonic Devices Acronym ex. RAVEN (Remember: Affect Verb Effect Noun) Acrostics ex. Sober Physicists Don't Find Giraffes In Kitchens (Orbital Names for Electrons) Songs/Rhymes - She was all gal (ALGAL) and he was a fun guy (FUNGI). They took a likin' (LICHEN) to each other. (Lichen are made up of algae and fungae) --Isosceles, Isosceles Two Angles have Equal Degrees Isosceles, Isosceles You Look just like a Christmas Tree! Loci and Peg Visual Systems ex. Loci: Travel a familiar route and place items along the way (rooms in house, trip to school, things in grocery store) ex. Peg: Task—Learn that the speed of light is 186,000 miles a second 1=bun; 2=shoe; 3=tree; 4=door; 5=hive; 6=sticks; 7=heaven; 8=gate “a bun riding fast on a gate made out of sticks” Practice/Over-Learn/Recite and Repeat

Problem: College Tests are More Than ‘Rote Memorization’ Solution: Add Critical Thinking to Memorizing Strategies!

I WANT TO:SO I WILL: Remember material from multiple readings and compare/contrast ideas, be able to analyze, synthesize, and evaluate Create Lists, Charts to Compare/Contrast Use Flashcards in ‘Shuffle’ Mode —Pull 2 or More at Random and Make Connections Be ready for types of test questions that are really challenging to me ID Types of Questions Missed on Last Test; Create Possible Test Questions Like Those Using New Material Be ready for hypothetical and application test questions Don’t Stop at ‘What is it?’ Ask When, How, Why, Where, What If… (hint: get a study partner to help with this…) Organize my study materialsID all material on next Test Split Reading/Studying Over Days, Weeks— put in Planner!!!! Choose Memorizing Strategies, Depending on Type of Material Set Aside Several Small Chunks of Time Each Day to Review—Revisit Material Often!! Know material backward and forwardGet a Partner/Group— Ask Questions, Make Each Other Explain Fully—Don’t Be ‘Nice’!!

4 more weeks!!! What Can You Do Today to prepare for cumulative Exams?? Find out what Type of Exam you have in Each Class On your ‘To Do’ List, Schedule minute Time Blocks to Start Reviewing Oldest Material. Next Week add 2 more Blocks… Make a Calendar that Shows All Due Dates for the Rest of the Semester Make a List of All Incomplete Work for Each Class (this includes missed reading, missed class notes, etc. Make a Plan to Complete this Work by Adding 1-2 Tasks Each Day!
