Pegging: A Poem Analysis

I think this article was a good for me. A lot of people, including myself don’t really know about how the memory works. Memory is a great emphasis on the ability to recall the information for a period of time (Ormrod 63). Everyone has different ways of learning, but when it comes to memorizing something

Throughout the years, studying methods have always been an imperative topic in the field of memory research. Students and instructors are specifically concerned with such matters in order to improve learning, performance and retention. Among all the approaches, two have been the center of attention: massed practice and distributed practice. Distributed practice and massed practice are two entirely different methods of learning. Massed practice is done in one block of time whereas distributed practice is done by spreading out our study over time. (book) “The classical definition of massed practice is continuous practice with little or no pauses for rest even of short

One of the oldest memorization methods is chunking. This is taking items into groups called trunks, so that they can easily be memorized. These way individuals can improve how they remember the items by their larger association. A common chunking example is phone numbers. It would be hard for an individual to remember single numbers 5-3-6-1-8-9-2 but it easier to remember 536-1892. This was the assertion of psychologist who believed that individuals could only store five (5) to nine (9) items, while having the ability to hold four (4) chunks of information. Therefore, chunking information increases the capacity of memory to hold more

Those in prayer are his prey. We weep for souls forever on their knees in the holy city.

I had to realize that my hair was not the shimmering rays of the sun,

I destroy homes and tear families apart, I take your children and that’s just the start.

The second strategy is mnemonic device, I will use letters, images, sounds, and rhymes as memory boosters.

The Horse You're such a lovely creature, with big eyes that you feature! Many snacks, you like to eat. Carrots, apples, and bananas are a special treat.

The mnemonic methods are usually used with long-term memory because it is meant to store the information for later retrieval. For example, if one needs to learn information for an upcoming test one will prepare or try to relate the information so one can store the information and later use that information when it is time for the test. The first memory strategy being discussed is going to be chunking. Chunking is “A memory strategy in which the learner combines several small units to create larger units” (Matlin, 2013). Chunking can be used as an organizational strategy. Chunking is meant to increase the amount of information being retrieved at one time. "it is shown that chunking increases the number of memorized items in working memory from

When we think of musical culture, we think of music directly itself creating a culture. The people literally making the music with instruments or their voice can be what creates a musical culture. The jazz age and blues age happened because people’s abilities and talents grew or even just changed. Culture inspires change, it inspires religion and it inspires music.

The three techniques I used were jingles, sentences, and story lines. I used these techniques to memorize Psalm 4: 2-4, which is a few sentences from the bible. When using the jingle technique I tried memorizing this by singing it like a song. It was easy to learn the information this way, but I forgot it in an hour. I kept getting this song that I made up mixed up with others songs I had to memorize before for choir. The sentences technique had the best result. I took a few keywords from the reading and made a sentence with them. It took more time to learn it this way, but I was still able to remember it after an hour. Story lines was the least effective technique for me when trying to remember this information. It was hard to use this technique

When I was in Job Corp I was in their Medical Office Support trade. While I was learning about terminology, I would take notes and when I got home I would make concept cards. Doing this allowed me to practice memorizing terms and certain information. I would read the cards every time I got home and even during class. I especially used them to review before the final, which was on terminology. I would say that concept cards can help a lot if you need to memorize terms.

Taking notes is great ways of helping one identify important concepts for future reference. Even if one has a great memory, they won't be able to remember everything that the that they hear or read, unless one has a permanent written record for their reference (Lombardi, 2012). There are several different ways in which a person can take notes. Three of these ways are Keyword Note-taking, Linear Note-taking and Time Lines.

Experiments suggested that linearly increasing perturbation rate is more desirable over other introduced perturbation rates. It was proposed that some more perturbation rate varying schemes such as adaptive, chaotic, non-linear etc. will be explored and their performance will be examined in near future.

Three memory techniques that I find useful are VCR3, Pegging, Words. Which without knowing it, have used them in many ways, especially when trying to remember where things are or what days to call someone, or for appointments. I have always made little notes and used colors to memorize what is on this day and if I need to bring anything to this appointment, or what paperwork will be needed,
