Mnemonic

A mnemonic is using words and phrases to provide reconstruction of unfamiliar information, though symbolic pictures and later functions as reminders for desired behaviors (Cooper, Heron, & Heward, 2007). There are many different strategies that can be included in mnemonics teaching, but the most powerful are keyword method, pegboard method, and letter strategies. If one can make a firm enough connection, the better chance there is for a memory to last that much longer. The keyword method is helpful in a variety of applications, such as learning state and capitals or vocabulary (Mastropieri, & Scruggs, 1991). A keyword is considered a word that sounds like a new word and is easily pictured and can be easily interacted together. Teaching the United States state names and capitals is a large…

We used the mnemonic device Every Good Boy Deserves Fudge to learn the note names on the lines of the staff and FACE for the spaces of the staff. When we would be working through their music for band class, I would ask them what note I was pointing to. If they answered correctly, praise would be given but if not, I’d ask why they think that and refer back to our mnemonic device so that they can figure out the right answer on their own. Besides the mnemonic devices, we also used their motor…

This mnemonic strategy assumes that a person can best remember places that they are familiar with. So, if you can link something you need to remember with a place that you know very well, the location will serve as a clue that will help you to remember it. To me this skill will help with so many ways which…

work does not help you any. If you are going to take notes take your own notes don 't try to remember what someone else had remembered because we are all different. Also I knew if you really do have to copy a friends note be ready to do more work than you would have had to do if you would have just done it on you own. Which takes me to the point that writing down the important points help you remember to remember even though you have not even read the material. It is always important to use a…

How our personality then can affect the actions we choose to do which is the lining of our thoughts. Through the book Exploring Psychology and Christian Faith, we see how God correlates in…

We think of learning we usually believe it occurs during study sections, and later testing helps to assess what we learned through information retrieval. Some researchers argue that this traditional view is actually a mnemonic enhancer, and it often produces great achievement in long-term retention corresponding with repeated studying. Cognitive science reasoning is that we do not just need to learn a task in order to preform it well but overlearn it. Decades of research have demonstrated that…

In today’s society we have become complacent and content with being average. We have reached what Joshua Foer would refer to as an “ok plateau” . In both the essay The End of Remembering and the speech Step Outside Your Comfort Zone and Study Yourself Failing, Joshua Foer eludes to the idea that as a society we have digressed in everyday mundane tasks, instead of improving. In his essay, Foer discusses how technological advancements have allowed for human’s to do a more superficial style of…

This intervention study was conducted in order to see if using picture mnemonics would help children in kindergarten be able to identify the letters of the alphabets both accurately and dependably. Since children, of this age group, quite often struggle in terms of recognizing the alphabet and transferring that letter knowledge to their reading, this study took a new approach to teaching the letters and their corresponding sounds. The authors hoped that with this intensive intervention, that…
