TOPIC 5 : MEMORY, LEARNING & IMPROVING CONCENTRATION
Information processing model
Three kinds of memories or stores :
· Sensory Memory
· Short-Term Memory ( STM )
Long-Term Memory ( LTM )
MEMORY STRATEGIES
· Spaced practice
- Rather than intensively cramming right before the exam, a more effective strategy is to distribute your exam preparation over multiple sessions.
· Break reading material down
- Avoid read all chapter in a day. Read 1 or 2 chapter in a day so you don’t get stress
· Rehearsal
- Do revision what have you learn
· Elaboration Strategies
Organizational Strategies
WHAT IS CONCENTRATION ?
Focusing your attention on what you are doing for example you need to focus on what your lecturer talking about so that you get the information given.
CAUSES OF POOR CONCENTRATION
1) Lack of attention
2) Lack of interest
3) Lack of motivation
4) Distraction from others
5) Uncomfortable environment
6) Physiological matters-illness, tiredness
7) Psychological matters — personal problems, worries, anxieties
