FACTORS AFFECTING MEMORY
Organisation
-
tip: organise your facts into meaningful groups, hierarchical organisation works even better
Distinctiveness
Eysenck and Eysenck (1980) found that things that stand out are more likely to be remembered (e.g. comb - literal pronunciation produced better recall)
-
Elaboration
better memory after participants tried to fit the words into complex sentences rather than simple ones
tip: embed facts into elaborate memory traces
- it is easier to remember a fact if you encode more at the time of learning
