Memorization Tips: Learning styles and mnemonics
Here's some general memorization information from the Alamo Community
College District's Strategies for Success pages. (for all the details,
click here
to visit their web site).
"As passive learners, we remember only 10% of what we read, 20% of
what we hear, and 30% of what we see."
"When you teach someone else, you retain 70% of what you teach. When
you tell and show someone you retain 90% of what you say and do!"
When creating mnemonics to help you remember
"Create your own examples, relating difficult material to your own
experiences, thus facilitating understanding and remembering."
"Think about what you are learning and relate it to whatever is
important to you - how does it relate to your past, present and
future?"
"Concentrate on developing the bigger picture - the sequence of ideas
- which also help to better understand material. Readily understanding
material is essential to learning and remembering."
