Attention: Attend to the material intensely and wholly. Nothing else should enter your mind. Later, but not now.
Interest: Ask questions to stimulate interest. Take part or sides in the problems issues and subjects you are reading about.
Intention: Intend to remember as if your life depends on it.
Believe: Trust and believe in your ability to remember. It will strengthen as you lay burdens on it and because you trust it.
Start right: Concentrate on accurate input, not speed, at the beginning.
Select: Concentrate on the most significant things, the essential and the important. You can’t nor are expected to get 100%, so give your most intense attention to what is new, difficult and must remember.
Associate: The more associations you can elicit for an idea, the more meaning I will have; the more meaningful the learning, the better one is able to remember it. People with good memories usually think over their experiences–real and vicarious–and systematically relate or associate them with previous learning.
Background: Build background. The more background you have on a subject, the more interest you will have and the better you can form associations and discern relationships between the new and the old.
Organization: A good memory is like a well-organized and well-maintained filing system. When a new fact presents itself and you decide to keep it, you will associate (file) it with its natural or logical group. Bunch or associate ideas, facts or details consistent with the organization of the chapter.
Recitation: Quiz or self-test yourself after every paragraph or natural break. Recite in your own words. Recitation not only serves memory but tests and promotes understanding.
Notes: Take brief notes in your own words and arrange them in some meaningful order. Review them immediately after concluding the chapter.
Review: Best time to review is immediately after initial learning has taken place. We forget most in the first 24-48 hours.
Spaced review: Periodically review so that forgetting has less of a chance to take place. If the intervals between reviews are too widely spaced, more forgetting will occur.
Over learn: When you are sure you know it, then one more time or two. If you can recall it instantly, you have over learned it. The more important and difficult the learning, the more you should over learn it and reinforce it with frequent reviews.
Study, then sleep: Freshly learned material is better remembered by most people after a period of sleep or mental activity than after a period of daytime activity when interference takes place.
