Enhancing Memory: Meaningful Association Technique

This technique involves using a sheet of scratch paper to view and recall items from different lists within specific time frames, exploring how memory retention is influenced by meaningful associations. By analyzing the impact of semantically meaningful and similar words, participants engage in elaborative rehearsal to improve long-term memory storage.

Presentation Transcript

  1. Meaningfulness in Long Term Memory • Use a sheet of scratch paper • View the list for 1 minute • Write down as many items from the list as you can recall (any order)

  2. List 1: 1 minute to view

  3. 2 minutes • List as many items as you can recall from list 1

  4. List 2: 1 minute to view

  5. 2 minutes • List as many items as you can recall from list 2

  6. List 3: 1 minute to view

  7. 2 minutes • List as many items as you can recall from list 3

  8. Class Discussion • Why were you able to remember more items from list 2 and 3 than list 1 • List 2 = the words have meaning as opposed to nonsense syllables in list 1 • List 3 = words have meaning AND they are semantically similar by being associated with a beach scene • Those who remembered the most words on list 3 = probably engaged in “elaborative rehearsal” • A memorization method that involves thinking about how new information relates to info already stored in long-term memory
