What are three benefits of using elaborative rehearsal when you study? (Ch 5 SA)
Better Retention: Elaborative rehearsal enhances memory retention by linking new information to existing knowledge, facilitating the transfer to long-term memory
Increased Understanding: It promotes a deeper understanding of concepts by clarifying relationships between ideas
Enhanced Application: This technique improves your ability to apply knowledge flexibly in new situations, aiding in problem-solving and critical thinking.
Select one of the following Memory Processes. Explain how to use this process when you study. Intentionally use selective attention Encode information on deeper levels, Use selectivity when you study, Create and practice associations and retrieval cues. (Ch 5 SA)
How to Use Selectivity When You Study:
Identify Key Information: Start by reviewing your study materials and highlighting or underlining the most important concepts, terms, and ideas. This helps you focus on the essential content rather than trying to remember everything.
Prioritize Content: Decide what is most relevant to your learning goals or the exam material. This may involve concentrating on summaries, main arguments, or important details that align with your course objectives.
Use Active Learning Techniques: Engage with the selected material actively. For example, create flashcards for key terms, summarize sections in your own words, or teach the material to someone else. This reinforces your focus on the most important information.
Limit Distractions: When studying, minimize distractions by creating a conducive environment. This helps you maintain attention on the selected material and enhances comprehension.
Review Regularly: Schedule regular review sessions for the prioritized content. Spacing out your study sessions allows for better retention and reinforces the selective information you’ve focused on.
What are schemas and how can you expand them? (Ch 5 SA)
Schemas are defined as mental frameworks or structures that help organize and interpret information based on prior knowledge and experiences. They allow individuals to understand and categorize new information more effectively by connecting it to what they already know.
How to Expand Schemas?Actively relate new concepts to existing knowledge. Engage with multiple sources of information, such as textbooks, articles, videos, and discussions. Develop your schema by questioning how new information fits into your existing framework.
You can make a strong impression of new information by…
A. Thinking or pondering the new information.

C. Suggests that the chunks of information you can process effectively is the same for familiar as for new or unfamiliar information.
D. Is unrelated to the way information is processed in memory.
(Ch 5 MC)
Suggests that the chunks of information you can process effectively is the same for familiar as for new or unfamiliar information
Which of the following statements is not true about working memory?
A. Working memory can integrate many kinds of information.
