One of my favorite topics is the study of the human memory. One part of my study has been the investigation into the Short Term Memory which has been renamed by cognitive researchers, the "Working Memory."

But much of my interest has been to try to discover how and why people are able to effectively store information for recall and future use in their Long Term Memory.

I have prepared a new musical model to help you understand and apply what I have learned.

Enjoy!

Adult Learning Secrets (Part 3)

Let’s revisit Elaborative Rehearsal one more time. I said it was more than mere practice. It’s more than repetition. It’s more than a steroid approach to memory making.

It’s about connecting information. First to the Short Term Memory (STM).* Then passing it alone from the STM to the Long Term Memory. Only then can new information be recalled for use in ones work, life, relationships and substantial making a difference to mankind.

Here’s a model that will help you visualize this process.

The idea is to get the new info to the right-hand side of the model. And not let it fall through the cracks somewhere. (And there are many ways that can happen.)

* The term, Short Term Memory was changed to Working Memory by researcher, Alan Baddeley in 1974, (Baddeley and Hitch) and is now generally excepted among cognitive practitioners.
