Examples Of Memory Principals

Improved Essays
The Memory Principals that I use effectively and on a regular basis are association, concentration, feedback, and time on task. I use association by creating acronyms to help me remember long lists of information. For example, to memorize characteristics of life I used MMRDMERG-movement, maintaining boundaries, responsiveness, digestion, metabolism, excretion, reproduction, and growth. I use concentration and time on task together. I can get myself into a state of concentration where time seems to fly by and that is when I spend the most time working on an assignment. I employ the use of feedback by quizzing myself through flashcards. I use these principals most often during Human Anatomy and Physiology because it requires a lot of material

    Learning is a lifelong process, and for that reason, it is pivotal for teachers to realize that understanding how memory works: “Understanding how memory works will help tailor your teaching to your student’s needs” (O’Donnell, Reeve, & Smith, 2012, p. 225). For instance, while attempting to memorize Silverstein’s poem “Sick,” I learned it takes time for me to memorize and process information. For instance, I had to re-read the poem three times--before being able to memorize the first five lines of the poem. Nonetheless, in order to for me to memorize a poem, I must first read the poem for comprehension, as well as analyze the poem’s writing style--I must follow a procedure: “Procedural memory is memory about how to do something” (O’Donnell,…

    What about remembering something as simple as a list of words? Do we remember concrete words more than we do abstract words? If we were to add gum to the equation, would we remember either word types more, less, or equally the same? Even with the many used ways of improving our memory, such as using flash cards, songs, or repetition, it would not hurt to add on another method(s).There have been studies conducted to determine the effect that gum chewing has on word recall, both short-term and long-term.
