  • THE ABILITY TO DO SOMETHING WELL





WHAT IS MEMORY???


  • In human life,memory is the ability of the mind to recall the past sensations,thoughts and knowledge
  • We saved the memory in the brain
  • In computer,memory called storage which information is stored for immediate use by the central processing unit
  • Storage can be stored in a hardisk or in a pendrive

TYPES OF MEMORY:

  1. SENSORY MEMORY-incoming information detected by 5 sense will be stored in sensory memory.It will lost if we does not pay attention to it
  2. SHORT MEMORY-it is very limited storage. STM need some active learning strategies in order to get information to LTM.Otherwise,the information will be forgotten
  3. LONG TERM MEMORY-this is unlimited and large storage.From short term, information moved to long term memory.If the information not being used in a period of time,it will lost. 

WHY WE FORGET??

  • Did not pay attention to the info
  • Don't understand the info
  • Last minute study
  • Don't have good strategies





  1. Massed practice vs spaced practiced-better to do study little but continuously rather than study all of the subjects a day before exam
  2. REHEARSAL-repeat the information many times
  3. ELABORATION STRATEGIES- 
  • Association-connect a word with a person,place,thing,feeling,or situation
  • Acronyms-a word or catchphrase formed as abbreviation
  • Acrostics-a series of verse in either first,middle,or last letter is taken to form a catchphrase
  • Organization strategies-organize the notes for example like mind map
  • Imagery-picture the image of the info needed

WHY WE HAVE POOR CONCENTRATION

  • Lack of attention 
  • Lack of interest
  • Lack of motivation
  • Uncomfortable environment
  • Personal problems
  • Distraction

HOW TO OVERCOME
