Memory Improvement

Verbal Mnemonic Techniques 1. Acronyms E.g Richard Of York Gave Battle In Vain Good when remembering the order of something. 2. An Acrostic e.g. My Easy Method Just Speeds Up Naming Planets. 3. Rhymes e.g. 30 days Hath September… 4. Chunking (e.g. Millers research)

Visual imagery mnemonics Some methods use visual images. Method of Loci – items put in locations in a familiar place Good for visual learners! Crovitz (1971) better performance than trying to remember by rote. Yesavage and Rose (1994) the richer the image, the better the memory

Visual imagery :Method of Loci (Place it!) Use a mental image of a place you know well - such as your home - and take a mental walk through the rooms in a set order. Then, put the names from your list one by one into the rooms. Learn to associate each item on list with one of the locations on your route To recall the names later you repeat the mental walk.

Visual Mnemonics: Peg-word system Technique used to memorise lists of words Learn basic organisational structure One is a bun Two is a shoe Three is a tree Four is a door Five is a hive Six are sticks Seven is heaven Eight is a gate Nine is a line Ten is a hen

Visual Mnemonics: Peg-word system Learn the list of words by forming a mental image of each word and then ‘hang’ it on one of the pegs 1.Eggs 2.Bread 3.Biscuit 4.Tomatoes 5.Potatoes 6.Cheese 7.Jam 8.Pasta 9.Juice 10.cornflakes Example: you make buns out of eggs (one is a bun= EGGS)

Visual Mnemonics: Peg-word system Spider diagrams and mind maps. Making notes of information in the form of a drawing. Small sketches and doodles might be added as well as colours. This process, adds visual cues.

Watch the film clip What Memory Improvement technique is used by Andy and Prof Winstone?

Comparing Mnemonics 1.Revise two topics MSM and WMM 2.Produce a mind map for one topic and then the other use the method of loci sheet. (Method of loci-draw objects in each room of your house eg. In the living room Peterson and Peterson are sitting on the sofa together etc.. 3. you will be tested later…did one technique lead to better recall?

Teaching Towers 1. Role of organisation 2. Role of elaborative rehearsal 3. Dual coding hypothesis Instructions 1.In groups of three use your info to complete your tower 2.One person now stays with your tower to teach other groups about your topic 3.The others need to split up and visit the other towers to learn another topic each 4.Regroup and teach each other the two new tower topics Research evidence Summary sentence Role of organisation Key words Check what you have learnt by completing the exam questions

Designing your own Study What type of memory improvement will you investigate? Will it be a replication or something new? What resources will you need? Who will your participants be? How is your study an improvement on the classic studies?
