1. Remember the following 10 items in thecorrect order so that If I ask you what was wordthree, you would remember it.WatchMissileMufflerCandyTomatoFingernailScarfDiseaseElephantPillar

2. Raise your hand as soon as you recognize themusic and can identify how it is connected toyou.How do you remember this?What is the name of the actual song?Do you remember any Peanuts trivia? 3. A collection of neural networks formedthrough repetition from past experiences orevents in ones life.What are some of your earliest memories? 4. The ability to access the neural networks in orderto perform a task or skill. Example recallingmultiplication facts such as 6 x 7, or the musclememory of how to hit a backhand tennis shot. 5. A mnemonic device used to recall words orevents in their correct order.First memorize the peg words that rhyme withthe numbers 1-10. 6. 1Bun2Shoe3Tree4Door5Hive6Sticks7Heaven8Gate9Vine10-Hen 7.

C.O.W. helps with recall.Bees 11. The Loci Method.The loci method is another mnemonic devicethat uses a template of known locations toplace words on.Use visualization to see the item to memorizeon that particular location. Dont be afraid toC.O.W. 5 rooms and 5 locations in these rooms isenough to remember 25 words.10 rooms + 10 locations = 100 words! 12. The Loci Method. 13. Do Not Write these words down.Instead link them to your locations.My first room was a bedroom and the location is my pillow.I put a diaper on my pillowVisualize placing the diaper at your first location. 14. 1. diaper2. mustard3. oar4. meatball5. basketball6. pliers7. paperclip8. magazine9. ring10. grease11. dog catcher12. swimsuit13. buffalo14. ship15. grapefruit16. bucket17.

If the information is emotionally relevant theinformation may be stored in the hippocampus.This is the short term memory holding area. 16. Emotion aids a memory. That is why we suggestedC.O.W.Since there can be a lot of emotion with something that hasnever been experienced before, firsts become more easilyrecalled. This is called the primacy effect. 17. Recall the first and last words from our peg method.Recall what was in location number one and twentyfive for the loci method. 18. It is difficult to eat a burrito in one bite.Consider the metaphor! 19. By breaking study sessions into several smaller unitsrather than one long session, what are we doing?More beginnings and endings create more primacyand recency! 20. Long term potentiation 21. Memories are broken up into varies elementsassociated with the information such as visual,auditory, and other senses and delivered aroundthe cerebrum. This creates multiple pathways tothe information. 22. Because long term memories are stored throughout thecerebrum this is why a smell or sound or visual clue canstimulate and initiate the recall of a memory.There are virtually many access points throughout thebrain to recall an event or information needed to processsomething.So you smell cookies and it triggers a host of memoriesabout going to grandmas house.I say apple and you have a working/functional memoryabout what apples look like, taste, where they grow, howgood they are for you, etc. 23. Orchestrated ImmersionActive Processing 24. Practice and repetition then strengthens thepathways and makes access (recall) easier.This is why writing something down makes iteasier to remember than just readingsomething, or watching something. Somestudents highlight information in theirtextbooks which is less effective than physicallytaking notes. 25. We have used the mnemonic devices of the pegmethod, loci method, and linked emotions to first andlast events.Acronyms can also be utilized to help retaininformation. 26.

Substitution Memory MethodSubstitute a word or phrase thatsounds like the word or term youwant to memorize.Use the substitution word to create avisual that helps to remember thedefinition of the term. 29. Turlough means a winter pond.Turlough sounds like Turtle: I see a turtle frozenin the ice of a pond during winter.Piet means chatterbox. I see a person putting apiece of pie into a persons mouth who wontshut up.Palmary means outstanding. I visualize twopeople slapping palms (high five)when theyaccomplish something outstanding.
