Document Summary
The finding that ltm is enhanced when much of the learning period is devoted to retrieving the to be remembered info. To promote long term retention try to recall the material from the chap (w/o the possibility of restudying the material) Mind maps diagrams in which word concepts are linked in very flexible ways around a central key concept; they often contain images and colour: personal. Concept maps diagrams: the links among general concepts (at the top of the diagram) and specific concepts (lower down) are shown: useful for medical education. Students need to be actively involved in the learning process to produce adequate maps; 2. Concepts are shown as having several links or associations to eachother; 3. Concepts are reduced to one or 2 words within conept and mind maps, extracting the essence of their meaning and ignoring trivial details; 4. Mind maps (not concept) provide visual images that are easier to remember.
