Exam technique
Recall of information

2. Recall: Understanding your Memory

3. Memory = information that has been stored/ encoded in the brain.
Recall of memory refers to the brain re-accessing of events or information from the past.

4. There are two major categories of memory:
Short-Term Memory
Closely related to "working" memory, short-term memory is the very short time that you keep something in mind before either dismissing it or transferring it to long-term memory.

5. The magic number is 7 (most people between 5 – 9) pieces of information which we can recall. Which can be recalled for about seconds.
But this can be enhanced by rehearsal (repeating the information verbally).

6. This is why the ‘little and often’ guidance is often given for revision.
CHUNK your revision.

7. There are two major categories of memory: Long-Term Memory Long-term memory is our brain's system for storing, managing, and retrieving information.

8. “...God created humankind in his image” (Genesis 1:27).
So how do I get this into my long term memory?
“...God created humankind in his image” (Genesis 1:27).

9. “...God created humankind in his image” (Genesis 1:27).
What the Information Means to You -
is important or of relevance to you
Your Attention -
keep the learning curve in mind
How Well the Information Matches With What You Already Know - Existing memories are a magnet for related information which is why revision works like building blocks.
If Information is Connected or Can Be Associated - We remember information that is linked to our senses, is repeated in the text, or is connected by rhyme or rhythm.
How Unique or Exceptional Information is - You automatically remember what amazed you or what spoke to your imagination, but the rest of the material takes a little effort.

10. You will learn this by the end of the session!
So lets practice…
You will learn this by the end of the session!
You have 7 quotes and two minutes to read and re-read them.
Turn over the quotes - you have 30 seconds to recall as many as you can.

11. How many did you remember?
Now only read the ones that you forgot – re-read them for two minutes.
Now try again – can you remember them?

12. How many did you remember this time?
You might find that your recall is quite poor at the moment (I blame Google) but, it will improve with practice.
