How Learning and Memory Work Stage 1: Encoding Stage 2: Storage Sensory Storage Short-Term Memory Learning: The Transfer from Short- to Long-Term Memory Rote learning. Elaborative rehearsal. Recoding. Long-Term Memory Stage 3: Retrieval Forgetting Proactive Interference Retroactive Interference Strategies for Improving Encoding, Storage, and Retrieval Strategies for Improving Encoding Exclude competing stimuli. Use various sensory modes. Carefully and specifically define your purpose. Use previewing Strategies for Improving Storage Use immediate review To review a chapter you have just read, follow these seven steps: 1. Begin as soon as you have finished reading the chapter. 2. Go back the to beginning of the chapter and review all the boldfaced text or major headings. 3. For each heading, form a question. 4. Then look away from the page, or cover it up with a sheet of paper, and try to answer each question. 5. Check to see if you have answered the question completely by referring back to the text. 6. Continue through the chapter in this manner, heading by heading.
7. When you have finished, stop and think. Use numerous sensory channels to store information. Organize or recode information to be stored. Use elaboration. Connect new learning with previous learning. Strategies for Improving Retrieval Use visualization. Develop retrieval clues. Simulate rehearsal tasks. Learn beyond mastery.
