As you read or listen. You should
select what you intent to remember by
sorting out the important ideas from
those that are relatively unimportant
11. Principle 1:
Intent to remember
This principle also provides the baisis
for the techniques of prereading and
establishing a purpose.
12. Principle 2:
Meaningfulness
Material that is meaningful, or make
sense, is easier to learn and remember
than meaningless information. It
would be easier to learn a list of
meaningful words than a list of
nonsense words.
15. Principle 5:
Spaced study
The length of time and spacing
between reading-study lessons
directly affects how much to learn.
Generally, it is more effective to space
or spread out study sessions rather
than to study in one or two large
blocks of time.
16. Principle 5:
Spaced study
When period of study were divided
into units separated by breaks, the
total time necessary to memorize
information was significantly reduced.
19. Principle 6:
Mnemonic devices
Mnemonic devices are useful when
trying to learn information.
You will find the principle useful in
reviewing tests and lecture notes as
you prepare for exams.
