Learned methods for remembering information
Chapter 9 Page 255-256

Rehearsal- Either a mental or vocal repetition; may occur in children as young as 2 years under some conditions and is common in older children and adults. Organization- Grouping ideas, objects, or words into clusters to help in remembering them, such as "all animals," "the ingredients in the lasagna recipe," or "the chess pieces involved in the move called castling." This strategy is more easily applied to something a person has experience with or particular knowledge about. Two-year-olds use primitive clustering strategies. Elaboration- Finding shared meaning or a common referent for two or more things that need to be remembered Mnemonic- A device to assist memory; the prase for the notes of the lines on the musical staff ("Every Good Boy Does Fine") is a mnemonic. Systematic Searching; "Scanning" one's memory for the whole domain in which a piece of information might be found. Three and 4-year-old children can beginto do this when they search for actual objects in the real world, but they are not good at doing this in memory. So search strategies may first be learned in the external world and then applied to inner searches. (//Source: Flavell, 1985.)// Methods for remembering information, devised by the individual starting anywhere from age 2 up. Learning is much more likely to occur when students are actively involved rather than when they passively listen or observe. Way to help learn information, and keep it in there, are:
 * Some common information-Processing Strategies used in remembering:**
 * answering questions
 * creating questions
 * taking notes or writing about
 * a presentation afterwards
 * teaching another student
 * Summarizing in their own words
 * hands-on activities
 * doing a project
 * doing worksheets

Examples:
