• Activity Memory Task
• Each student needs a piece of paper and a pen.
• I will show you a set of pictures of different
  objects.
• You have 2 minutes to look at the picture and to
  try and memorize them all.
• After two minutes, I will ask you to write down

• Write them down in any order you want.
• Work on your own, NOT in groups.

• How many things did you remember?
• What did you do to remember the 20 items?
• How can memory be improved? What are good
  techniques for remembering things?
• Discuss!

• Some Techniques for remembering things
• Repeating items over and over
• subvocal rehearsal phonological loop
• Elaborative encoding connect new information to
  memories that you already have
• cp. Levels of Processing approach
• e.g. create a story around the items to be
  remembered group items by meaning, etc??
• Your own techniques?
