THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN LEFT SIDE & RIGHT SIDE

THE COMPUTER ANALOGY

• Sensory Memory (SM)       : Ability to retain impressions of sensory information

                                                 after the original stimuli have ended.

• Short-Term Memory (STM): Capacity to keep a small amount of information

                                                 for a short period of time. It has a limited storage.

• Long-Term Memory (LTM): Capacity to keep or remember information for a

                                                 long period of time. It has a large storage

WHY WE FORGET? 😞

1. Did not pay full attention to the information given.

2. Cramming or known as last minute study.

3. Study only for exams not for knowledge.

4. Does not understand the information and do not have good strategies.

-IT EASY TO REMEMBER IF WE DO A REPETITION AND REHEARSAL

MEMORY STRATEGIES

It can help students to keep their information or to remember, such as encoding, storing and retrieving. Student can use mind map,acronym,singing or use your own key word

WAYS TO IMPROVE OUR MEMORY STRATEGIES: ✨:

1.    Massed practice(MP) VS Spaced practice(SP)

     Massed practice is cramming and it is not recommended while spaced

     practice is well-prepared and it is recommended

2.     Breaking reading material down

     No cramming such as read 2 chapters per day continuously before the exam.

    

3. Rehearsal

    Repeat or practice until you remember.

4. Elaboration

       i.                 Associations            

     ii.                 Acronyms/Catchwords: UiTM (Universiti Teknologi Mara)

                                           MAS (Malaysian Airlines Systems)

  iii.                  Acrostics/Catchphrases: NASA stand for No Astronaut Stays Around

5. Mnemonics
