Memory & Learning
Learning Pyramid
Why memory Stratergies is important?
Memory Stratergies will help students in their encoding , storing, & retrieving the information.
HOW FORGETTING COULD OCCUR.
The reasons why students forgetting;
-Did not pay attention to the information
- Did not understand the information
- Last minute study
- Did not have good strategies
HOW TO IMPROVE YOUR MEMORY
1) Mased Practice and Space Practice
Mased Practice *Not Good - its including cramming, involves studying all the materials at one time. This way didnt help you to understand, remember and organize the reading materials. Its storage in STM (short term memory).
Space Practice *Good *RECOMMENDED - involved space time over some period of time for studying . Taking breaks between learning sessions allow you to think and organize the information.
2) Break Reading reading material down (again no cramming!) for some period of time.
Example; 2 chapters per day, not all chapters a day before exam
3) Rehearsal - repeat the information many times.
Remembering Using Acronyms , Acrostics & Imaginary
✋ Acronyms
Example; MAS ; Malaysia Airline System
UiTM ; Universiti Teknologi MARA
✋ 👅Acrostics
Example; carnivores - animal eaters
herbivores - plant eaters
✋ Imaginary - visual the image of the important information!
THE SAME BETWEEN COMPUTER AND HUMAN MEMORY.
In some ways, human memory and computer memory are similar. For example, some general characteristics of human short-term memory resemble those of acomputer's random access memory (RAM). ... Your long-term memory is something like a computer's hard drive
- Your Brain is Like a Computer. The human brain is often compared to a computer, full of bits of information, able to make swift, steady connections. Justlike a computer, the brain has many programs like the ones that allow us to move, think and make decisions. ... Our brains use instructions too.

SQ3R - SURVEY, QUESTION, READ, RECITE, REVIEW
SQ3R will help you build a framework to understand your reading assignment.
- SURVEY: (before class) Read the following:This survey should take no more than 10-25 minutes, even on the longest chapter. The purpose of surveying the chapter is to get a general idea of what it is going to be about, what kind of information the author gives, how many sub-topics the information is broken down into, and how much time you will have to spend reading it.
- Chapter Title
- Introduction
- Objectives
- Vocabulary
- Summary
- Review questions
- Boldface headings
- Graphics and their accompanying captions
- QUESTION: (before class) Turn each boldfaced heading into a question by using one of the following words: who, what, where, when, why, or how.The reason for creating a question out of each heading is to set a purpose for reading the material in more detail. When you are reading to find the answer to a specific question, you are reading actively.
- READ: (after class)
Actively read the section of the text accompanying the heading for an answer to the question you asked yourself in step 2. The answer will usually be made up of the main idea(s) of the paragraph(s) and the supporting details. Read the section to find the answer. The purpose of reading is to find the answer to your question. - RECITE: (after class)
Recite the answer to each question to yourself. Put the answer into your own words, or rephrase the author's words. Be sure that you can recall the answer, not just recognize the information as correct. Write the questions in your notebook along with a few key words or phrases that summarize the answer. The purpose for doing this is to help you think about and understand what you have read. When you rewrite or rephrase what you read, your comprehension and retention will improve. - REVIEW: (before next class)
To review, cover the answers and ask yourself the questions. If you can't answer the question, look at your notes and test yourself again. Once you are sure you know and understand the question and answer, check it off. The purpose for reviewing is to help you prepare for the eventual test. Remember that very few people read textbooks for pleasure; they are read to acquire information and to remember and apply it in a testing situation. Reviewing helps you remember the information
