  1. INTEREST: In order to remember something thoroughly, you must be interested in it.<\/li>\n
  2. INTENT TO REMEMBER: Your intent to remember has much to do with whether you remember something or not. A key factor to remembering is having a POSITIVE ATTITUDE <\/em>that you WILL remember.<\/li>\n
  3. BASIC BACKGROUND: Your understanding of new materials depends to a great degree on how much you already know about the subject. The more you increase your basic knowledge, the easier it is to build new knowledge on that background.<\/li>\n
  4. SELECTIVITY: You must determine what is important and select those parts to study and learn<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    You can use clues in your class notes or textbook to determine what is most important to study.<\/p>\n

    5. MEANINGFUL ORGANIZATION: You can learn to remember better if you group ideas into meaningful categories<\/p>\n

    If you have a large list of items to remember, cluster similar items around a heading or category<\/p>\n

    6. RECITATION: Saying ideas out loud in your own words is the most powerful tool you have for transferring information from short term memory to long term memory<\/p>\n

    Flash cards and study cards are often helpful in learning new material as they make you a participant, not just an onlooker.<\/p>\n

    7. MENTAL VISUALIZATION: Another principle is making a mental picture of what needs to be remembered. By visualizing, you use an entirely different part of the brain then you did by reading or listening<\/p>\n

    Add illustrations, maps, or graphs to your notes to help you understand and remember<\/p>\n

    8. ASSOCIATION: Memory is increased when facts to be learned are associated with something familiar to you.<\/p>\n

    Use logical connections such as maps or diagrams<\/p>\n

    Make artificial connections through visualizations, rhymes, and mnemonic devices.<\/p>\n

    9. CONSOLIDATION: Your brain must have time for new information to soak in. When you make a list or review your notes right after class, you are using the principle of consolidation.<\/p>\n

    10.DISTRIBUTED PRACTICE: A series of shorter study sessions over several days is preferable to fewer but longer sessions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
