Techniques to help students enhance their understanding through long-term memory
Helpful Hints

- Write "memory plans" before studying for tests or undertaking course work or activities that require a lot of memory, particularly courses with a cumulative knowledge base
- Shift between multiple formats, such as auditory, visual, and experiential, during instruction
- Model the use of techniques for organizing and remembering information, such as rehearsal, elaboration, and mnemonic strategies, during your instruction
- Make use of peers to help each student gain a complete understanding of directions and "to be remembered" information
- Use episodic memory to enhance semantic memory and vice versa. Help others give students direct experience with a topic to build episodic memory then have students transfer what they've learned into semantic memory, Which is very helpful
- Provide students with a set of questions to ask themselves while learning and studying to help promote their own development of strategies
- Get a goodnight's sleep
