Which test was easier? Why? Why was I able to guarantee that you

would do better on the second test than the first?

Association

When something reminds you of something else, it is easier to remember than if it is unrelated to anything else you already know about.

Did any of the techniques you used in tests 1-5 involve association?

Association

Did anyone miss one of the answers on Memory test B because they had not heard of the person or situation in the question? In order for association to help improve

memory, it has to be something that the person is familiar with

Association

For each person the associations that will help are those that build on things the individual already knows

The more you know, the better the chance that something they are trying to learn will be associated with something they already know

Mnemonics
