  1. Effortful processing requires rehearsal, or conscious repetition  Amount remembered depends on amount of time spent learning

  2. Next-in-line effect – we are unlikely remember information presented just before we must perform; we are too focused on our own upcoming performance

  3. DUH—BE AWAKE • Information processed seconds before sleep is not remembered • Information presented during sleep is not remembered

  4. Spacing Effect • We increase long-term retention when we study or practice over time. • Cramming is an inefficient means of studying (ie, cramming = less time for guitar hero)

  5. Spacing Effect • Longer spaces between practice sessions leads to longer retention. • It is better to study 5 minutes a night for 10 nights than to study 50 minutes in one night. • Also, studying for midterms and final exams enhances lifelong retention.

  7. Serial Positioning Effect • We tend to remember the beginning (primacy effect) and end (recency effect) of a list best. • Primacy effect is stronger than recency effect if there is a delay between the list and recall. Words remembered Order on list
