Study Notes
- Memory is divided into three storage systems: sensory, short-term, and long-term.
- Sensory memory retains an exact copy of what is seen or heard for a few seconds.
- Short-term memory is where information is stored based on selective attention.
- Long-term memory is relatively permanent storage based on meaning and importance.
- Sleep plays an important role in memory consolidation, especially deep, slow-wave sleep.
- A brain-healthy, memory-wise diet should include whole grains, fresh fruits and vegetables, and healthy fats.
- Sleep deprivation significantly affects fatigue and confusion, impairing cognitive tasks.
- Strategies for a good night's sleep include regular routine, exercise, avoiding stimulants, and relaxation techniques.
- Your body clock relies on sunlight to keep you synchronized with planetary time.
- To improve memory, make an effort to remember, get interested, and practice recalling information.
- Pay attention and cultivate interest in what you're learning.
- Be selective and organize information in a meaningful way.
- Review immediately, recite, visualize, and associate to strengthen neural connections.
- Allow time for connections to solidify through consolidation and practice.
- Learn actively and in an organized way.
- Tailor information acquisition to your learning style.
- Involve as many senses as possible and relate information to what you already know.
- Organize information and understand and interpret complex material.
- Rehearse information frequently and overlearn it.
- Be motivated and keep a positive attitude.
- To remember important information, be active and involved in learning.
- Use associations to help remember information.
- Visual aids such as diagrams and tables can aid in memory retention.
- Writing out vocabulary words, theories, or formulas can help with memorization.
- Reciting information aloud can aid in auditory encoding and understanding.
- Visualize teaching the material to enhance recall and understanding.
- Reviewing notes after class and doing a weekly review can improve retention.
- Reviewing information from textbooks within 24 hours and on a weekly basis can also improve retention.
- Consistent review leads to less cramming before tests.
- Studying for a short period each day is more effective than studying for many hours on a single day.
