  2. Learning objectives • What is the Multiple Intelligences Theory? • What are the different ways in which I could be smart and talented? • How do I use my memory? • What is short-term and long-term memory? • What are some techniques I can use to become better at remembering things? © Boardworks Ltd 2008 2 of 20

  3. What is ‘intelligence’? • What do you think people who are intelligentare like? • What do they do? • How do they act? • How do you know they’re smart? It used to be that intelligence was measured by how well a person did in school. But as people began to understand more about how the mind works, they began to realize that there are actually many different ways in which people are intelligent.

  4. The Multiple Intelligences Theory In 1983, a professor named Howard Gardner developed the Multiple Intelligences Theory. Gardner realized that some people are better at understanding certain things than others. For example, some people might be really good at painting, but find playing musical instruments difficult. Others might be really talented at music but not very talented at sports. The Multiple Intelligences Theory identifies eight different ways in which people can be intelligent.

  5. The eight types of intelligence

  6. What is your strongest intelligence?

  7. What are the eight types of intelligence? Most people have varying strengths and combinations of the eight different intelligences. What do you think David Beckham’s strongest intelligence is? Recognizing and making use of your naturally strongest intelligences is key to helping you become a happy and successful learner. Knowing where your intellectual strengths lie can also help you to work out what job you might like to do when you’re older!

  8. Intelligence types and learning styles

  9. Memory Knowing about the ways in which you learn best can help you to develop and improve your memory. Our memory is our ability to store, retain and recall information that we have learned or experienced. Memory is essential not only in revising for tests, but in performing jobs and managing our daily lives. What are some of the things you had to use your memory for yesterday?

  10. Where are memories stored? There are two basic types of memory: short-term memoryand long-term memory. These different types of memory are stored in different parts of the brain. Short-term memory is stored here, in the temporal lobe. Long-term memory is stored here, in the frontal lobe.

  11. Long-term memory Long-term memory stores information for a few days, or for many decades. • Your long-term memory stores: • information about your friends and family • knowledge and facts learnt at school • important or meaningful experiences such as the first time you learnt to ride a bike or a film which you really liked.

  12. Short-term memory Short-term memory stores information for a short period of time – from a few seconds to a few hours. Your short-term memory is what you use when you are trying to remember: • the name of a person you’ve just met • a message you need to pass on to someone • a new phone number you’ve just looked up • items you need to get from the shop • two prices to compare on different websites.

  13. How good is your short-term memory?

  14. What are mnemonics? Mnemonics (pronounced ‘Ne-mon-iks’) are handy methods and techniques to help us memorize information. Here are some mnemonics you might know: ‘i’ before ‘e’ except after ‘c’ This is an example of a rhyme mnemonic, used to help us remember a spelling rule. Every Good Boy Deserves Fun This is an acrostic, used to help us remember the lines of the treble clef. The first letter of each word in the verse spells out EGBDF. ROY G BIV This is an acronym to help us remember the colour spectrum.

  15. Looking after your memory

  16. Tips for improving your memory Here are some more tips for improving your memory and retrieval capacity, so that you can become a better learner! • Say things you need to remember out loud to • yourself. This will help them to stick in your mind. • Involve as many senses as possible in your learning. Try to relate information to colours, smells and tastes. • Teach a concept you need to learn to someone else. This will improve your own ability to understand and recall the concept. • Keep a positive attitude! If you tell yourself • that you want to, and can remember something, it is more likely that you will remember it!
