Assalamuaalaikum to dear readers,
In this session, we learned about the concept of short term memory (working memory), capacity of the STM (7±2 items with lots of exercises that related to the STM).
In terms of time limit, monosyllabic words are more recalled more
easily than polysyllabic words. Furthermore, in order to increase the STM, all
you need to do is by chunking of the items into meaningful units and
maintenance rehearsal maintenance of mental/verbal repetition of information allows
information to retain in working memory than the usual 30 seconds.
Serial position
effect is one of the features of the STM. It is defined as the tendency for
recall of the first and the last items on a list to surpass recall of items in
the idle of the list.
This
is in line with our experience when we are going to retrieve the fact in the
exams by remembering the first and the last facts. However, the middle facts
are in the tip of the tongue.
Therefore, there is a need to do acronym in order
to remember the facts in an order, take for example. In a
conclusion, we need to appreciate the STM in order for us to retrieve the facts
or information that is meaningful from the STM to the LTM by rehearsing the
items so that it can stored into the LTM.
Thanks for reading our Dynamite's entry !!
XOXO
