Memory and Learning

THE STORAGE (RETAIN INFORMATION)

3 types of memory

1. Sensory memory (SM)👉 Remember something by using sense.Numerous incoming 

                                         information from 5 sense. If pay attention , it will go to

                                         short-term memory (STM) but if does not pay attention,

                                         the information will be lost.

2. Short-term memory(STM)👉 It is a limited memory. This is not good if you want to 

                                               remember. It must be repeated to get information to 

                                               lomg-term (LTM).From the sensory memory(SM), the 

                                               information will be to short-term memory (STM). While

                                               from the (STM) , it must be repeated to get information 

                                               to long-term memory(LTM).

3.Long-term memory(LTM)👉Remember something for long time. It is a unlimated and

                                            have a large storage.From short-term memory(STM) , the 

                                            information will moved to long-term memory(LTM). If the

                                            information is not being for long time, the information will

                                            be lost.

• Encoding / input : computer- keyboard , camera

                                      : human- The 5 sense; ears,mouth,nose,skin,eyes

• Storage : computer-hard disk , thumb drive

                        : human - 3 types of memory ; SM , STM , LTM

• Retrieval / output : computer - computer screen, printer

                                       : human - writing , talking

Activity

First, our lecturer asked us to read the words 

second , our lecturer asked us to read the colours . From this activity, it show that we can read the words clearly then the colours.

Our lecturer asked us to close our eyes. Then, the lecturer asked us to look at the numbers for 10 seconds, then the lecturer close the number and asked us to write down the numbers on the paper as much that we can recall.

Only this the number that I can recall

Memory Strategies

#Help students to keep the information

#Help students to remember

#Help students to recall

How Forgetting Occur

• Distraction
• Did not pay attention to the information
• Did not understand the information
• Last minute study
• Did not have a good strategies
• Test anxiety

How to improve Memory

💨 Manage time wisely

💨Massed practice VS  spaced practice

         (not good)          (good , recommended)

💨Break reading material down for some period of time chapter per day , not all chapter

💨 Do rehearsal for every topic at least 3 times

💨 Do elaboration strategies

            💥 Acronyms

            💥 Acrostics

            💥Imagery

            💥Organization strategies
