Document Summary
Using your memory more effectively is effectively what you do when you learn. Effective encoding and rehearsal: mnemonics & multiple retrieval cues, overlearning & distributed practice. Ltm storage is based on meaning . we do not file our memories under some sort of code system, like old library card stacks. Instead, we store memories based on meaningful associations (and non- associations) The more ways in which you think about the material, the deeper your processing will be and the more easily you will remember the material later. Ways to think about the material would include asking questions such as: Memories should not be viewed separate connections; it is an overlap of neural connections, stored based on meaning, which means to make more connections. The levels-of-processing principle states that the ease with which we can retrieve a memory depends on the number and types of associations that we form with that memory.
