WHAT IS MEMORY ?
The retention of information over time or the mind stores and remember information

WHY DO WE FORGET ?

1. Did not pay attention to the information
2. Cramming (last minute study)
3. Did not understand the information
4. Did not have good strategies

MEMORY STRATEGIES

Help students in their encoding, storing and retrieving the information (help to remember and recall)

1. Massed practice vs spaced practice

massed practice - cramming, involves studying all the materials at one time. Do not have time to understand, remember and organize the reading materials.

2. Break reading material down for some period of time

For example, revise 2 chapters per day not all chapters a day before the exam

3. Rehearsal

Repeat the information many times

4. Elaboration strategies

- Create an acronyms. For example, MAS for Malaysian Airline System
- Visualize the image of the information needed
