Memory strategies

I got this & it’s good points to remember things:

The following strategies are things you can do inside your head to try to remember things:

1. Attention – pay attention- focus on what is being said – reduce background distractions.

2. Small chunks – break down information into small chunks

3. Repeat & rehearse -repeat information over & over silently in your mind

4. Make lists – link new ideas to existing information- make mental associations in your mind

5. Make visual pictures- thinking of somebody’s name in terms of a picture will help you remember it

6. Questions – if you are trying to remember something, such as a newspaper story ask yourself the 5 “W” questions; – what- where – when – who – why. Break down information into these categories. Use these questions like “coat hooks” to hang information on.
