Unlock the secrets to improving your memory with effective encoding techniques. Utilize diverse methods like reading, writing, drawing, and auditory learning to reinforce your retention. Tailor your approach to your learning style—auditory learners can record their notes, while visual learners might sketch vocabulary. Organize information through chunking and create mnemonic devices to aid recall. Embrace vivid imagery and absurdity to make memories stick. With these strategies, elevate your ability to remember information consistently and effectively.

Improving your Memory: Encoding. Remembering information more consistently
Effective Encoding • As many ways as possible: read it, write it, draw it, hear it, say it, sing it, visualize it. • Auditory learners, buy a little mp3 recorder and record yourself going over vocab/concepts. Take it w/ you when you go for a run. • Visual learners, buy a sketch pad and draw vocab/concepts. • Reading/Writing learners, buy some cheap notebooks and re-write vocab 3x times in a row, 7 terms a night.
Organizing for Encoding • Chunking • Acronyms are technically chunks • Create Hierarchies/charts: build a web of knowledge based on connections.
Mnemonic Devices/Techniques • For when you need the big guns • Mnemonic devices: memory techniques that assist retrieval through the use of organization and vivid imagery • Ex. Carl Rogers (humanist) as Mr. Rogers (friendliest human-being ever) • B.F. Skinner was a Beep-BoopBehavoralist (Behviaor is programmable, like a robot) • The more absurd, scary, annoying, shocking, the better. THE MORE VIVID, THE EASIER IT WILL BE TO RECALL
Mnemonic Devices/Techniques • Auditory • Set terms/concepts to melodies you know well (ABCs, anyone?) • Alliterations: Ex. “Freud is a Fraud” (dream analysis can’t be proven), “Humanists give hugs” • Rimes
