Mnemonic

This research was design to establish the possibility that cumulative exams go along with the theory of Mnemonic improvement technique that with the support of distributed practice and spacing out your studies actually benefits the improvement of the memory. The study was…

focused on, analyzed, and attempted to help learning and too see what technique is most affective for kids. The ten techniques in this article include, elaborative interrogation, self-explanation, summarization, highlighting/ underlining, the keyword mnemonic, imagery use for text learning, rereading, practice testing, distributed practice, and interleaved practice.…

This article discussed the findings of a study conducted on the effectiveness of implementing a strategy instruction model with students with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder as well as deficits in writing. The goal of this test was to increase the students’ writing ability in both number of words produced as well as independently write a narrative incorporating all seven essential story parts. The test was administered by an advanced doctoral student, who was trained in the area of…

1. Introduction Learning disorders have always been a major field of interest when it comes to teaching, be it ESL, EFL or general teaching. What has been noticed in the last decade is that classrooms with students that experience learning disabilities have increased and thus I have decided to investigate the topic of EFL and learning disabilities, dyslexia in particular, in an effort to cater to the dyslexic students’ needs for my own development. However, it should be kept in mind that not all…

Memory and Brain Mechanisms The human brain is an incredible organ that keeps the heart pumping and allows a person to kick a ball. The brain is important to allow a person to read, to solve problems, and to connect with other people. Memory is an essential function of the brain for a person to live, learn, and interact with others. Working memory and long-term memory, how memories are formed and maintained, and memory problems are all a part of the brain’s everyday functions. Working memory…

materials (single concepts, math, complex science), and criterion tasks (tapping memory and/or problem-solving). Dunlosky, et. al (2013) found that the techniques (namely elaborative interrogation, self-explanation, summarization, highlighting, keyword mnemonic, imagery use for text learning, re-reading, practice testing, distributed practice, and interleaved practice) varied widely in terms of generalizability and promise. Among these techniques, practice testing and distributed practice were…

Megha you wrote a very clear and an excellent discussion post. I enjoy reading it. To answer your question: Medication adherence has been very evasive and difficult to decipher due to multifactorial challenges. According to Haugh (2014, p. 183-199), adherence can be broken down into two types: Intentional versus unintentional nonadherence. For the intentional nonadherence, the person has a deliberate decision not to take the medication due to his/her belief system. The individual may think…

In this study, students were randomly assigned to receive the computer-delivered practice intervention, the mnemonic strategy intervention, or no intervention. The practice intervention is a software program designed to enhance computational fluency in the four basic mathematics operations (Renaissance Learning, 2003). The strategy intervention is a picture-story…

Long term memory is the system into which all information is placed to be kept more or less permanently. LTM is basically unlimited when it comes to storage capacity. The duration of long term memory is very long, as its name states. Everything that gets put into long term memory is still there, it’s just not always accessible. Everything that finds its way into long term memory is encoded there in meaningful form. This can be through images, smells, sounds, and taste as well as through concepts…

This past semester I have been taking a cognitive psychology class with Dr. Dietrich. Throughout the class we talked a lot about memory and how to improve memory. I took the knowledge that I learned in the class and helped Josh improve his study skills. Although I am not a professional and my ways of improving memory have not been guaranteed to work, I have strong background and reasoning to why it should benefit Josh. This paper will discuss some of the things that I suggested to help Josh and…
