    Science-based memorization Techniques


    & Tips

    Part 1 - Distinctiveness Tip :


    Self - Reference Effect : It basically refers to the phenomenon where we remember
    information more if we relate it to ourselves.
    Encoding Specificity Principle : It basically says that we will recall things better if our
    environment or context when trying to remember the information is similar to the
    environment in which we memorized it.
    Mnemonic Devices : It is mental strategies designed to improve memory.
    Example : (Purposefully making the learning material funny, cringey or just very bizarre)
    There are two main categories of pneumonics imagery and organization.
    Imagery : You would imagine a picture or a scenario for the word in its definition.
    Organization Mnemonic Devices
    Hierarchy Technique : A second way to organize material is to construct a hierarchy. A
    hierarchy is a series of classes, from the most general classes to the most specific.
    Example :

    Keyword Method (Language Learning) : You would link a word in your native language
    to the new vocabulary word that you want to learn in the new language.
    First Letter Technique : Create a word or sentence from the first letters of the word that
    you want to memorize in a specific order.
    Narrative Technique : We also tend to remember stories (especially interesting stories).
    We can use Narrative Technique for certain words, phrases and make a little story or
    sequence of events that link them together in your mind.

    Part 2 - Elaboration Memorization Tips


    Try to read a passage, wait a few minutes and then try to explain the passage to
    yourself without looking at the written passage. [This is similar to The Feynman
    Technique]
    The Feynman Technique :

    Handwritten Notes In Your Own Language.


    Use more visually stimulating / memorable outside resources

    Tips for structuring your study sessions


    Testing Effect : It is basically the observation that the act of taking a test is actually an
    excellent way to boost long-term recall for material. So, It's great to do a pre-test before
    you actually start studying and cramming and reviewing and trying to memorize the
    material.
    Active Recall : It's basically the process of searching your brain to find an answer ( it's
    proven to improve memory). Example : Flashcards, Practice Test.
    Spacing out your study sessions, can help push back the forgetting curve and you will
    remember more material. Try to do a review session of material about 10-15 minutes
    every couple of days.
