Document Summary
Long-term memory storage: various forms of knowledge, declarative knowledge: knowledge that relates to the nature of how things are, facts, procedural knowledge: knowledge concerning how to do something, procedures. How declarative knowledge is learned: declarative knowledge is learned via rote learning. Factors affecting retrieval: ho(cid:449) (cid:373)a(cid:374)y (cid:862)k(cid:374)o(cid:449)ledge co(cid:374)(cid:374)ectio(cid:374)s(cid:863) are (cid:373)ade, whether the information has been learned to mastery, learning to mastery helps students achieve automaticity, how frequently the knowledge is used, whether there is a relevant retrieval cue. Interference: something the student already learned inhibits his/her ability to remember something else correctly, decay. Information used infrequently difficult to retrieve: failure to store, students failure to use strategies that promote storage. Giving students time to process: effects of increasing wait time: when teachers allow three seconds to elapse after their questions and student comments, students show: Improved quality of responses: additionally, teachers, ask different kinds of questions. Increase their teaching flexibility: have higher expectations.
