Strategies are “an individual’s comprehensive approach to a task; it includes how a person thinks and acts when planning and evaluating his or her study behavior” (Gettinger & Seibert, 2002). In the article, strategies were seen as instructions on how to get the most out of an individual’s studying routine. Therefore, the individual had to evaluate which method worked best for them and needed to place it into their work. In comparison to methodic ways to preserve memory, people must use strategies—for example, tips on how to encode or rehearse. Experience Psychology offers examples for rehearsing such as rewriting, retyping, or comparing the material to our real life to reinforce memory (King, 2016). Each of the educated sources believe that using some sort of tactic is important for effective studying. By using methods such as rehearsing, it is evident that: if the individual can learn to adapt to the technique, it can be a beneficial strategy for them to remember the learned …show more content…
When figuring out how to use full potential to become an effective studier, it is crucial to rely on the aspect of memory and how it plays a part in your ability to retain the information learned. Both the article and textbook provide a connection between effective studying and memorization by setting the basic foundation of what is expected, then furthering on how those expectations are able to be placed out.
