CRCB Chapter 3: Remembering What You Read

Memory is the process of storing and retrieving info. Know stages of the memory process and use strategies @ each stage to ensure new info is permanently stored. The most important aspect of memory is understanding what you are trying to remember. The 3 stages in the memory process are sensory memory, short-term memory and long-term memory. Specific strategies include: reading text aloud, draw pictures, act out a chapter in front of a mirror, visualize info in your head and reading while using an excercise bike. Chunking is effective for organizing and remembering new info so that it remains in short-term memory long enough to transfer to long-term memory. Use mnemonics to help retrieve info once it's learned.
