- Affected by attention and effort.
- Strategies like mnemonics and vivid imagery enhance encoding.
Memory trick: Encode, Store, Retrieve: The memory's three-step dance.
Correlation (Level of Learning)
Flip cardThe highest level of learning, where a student makes associations between various learned elements and relates new knowledge to existing knowledge, experience, or situations.
- Integrates knowledge from different areas
- Allows for prediction and problem-solving
- Goes beyond understanding and application
Memory trick: R U A C: Rote, Understanding, Application, Correlation
