Brain Organizes Memory In Different Ways
Retrieval often depends upon how the information was stored. Relevancy is one key to both storage and retrieval Provide and get examples Connect to what students know, what they are interested in Make learning meaningful 15
16
Memory When objects and events are registered by several senses, they can be stored in several interrelated memory networks. This type of memory becomes more accessible and powerful. Conversation helps us link ideas/thoughts to our own related memories. Students need time for this to happen!! Storytelling - Conversations Debates - Role playing Simulations - Songs Games - Films 16

A sensory memory exists for each sensory channel: iconic memory for visual stimuli echoic memory for aural stimuli haptic memory for touch Information sensory memory short-term memory by attention, thereby filtering the stimuli to only those which are of interest at a given time.

Define the “gist” - OVERVIEW Sequence events Plot out pictorially the information Tell the information to others in own words - TALK Peer teaching/tutoring Amplify by giving examples Use multiple parts of the brain (emotional, factual, physical) Auditory, Visual, Kinesthetic, Talk Combine Use color effectively Yellow and orange as attention-getters 22
23
The Brain is a Social Brain
The brain develops better in concert with others When students have to talk to others about information, they retain the information longer and more efficiently! Make use of small groups, discussions, teams, pairings, and question and answer situations. 23
