How to Actively Improve Long Term Memory
It is very clear that in order to strengthen and improve memory, conscious efforts must be made. Repetition to improve learning alone is not necessarily the best way to improve memory. Using a combination of organization tools and elaboration while being an active learner (using the bullets above) will increase memory efficiency. Connections are key - making relations among information is a vital aspect in active learning and bettering memory. Lastly, staying positive while learning promotes self-encouragement; motivation to learn is necessary for active learning. |

This case study discusses the importance of active learning in improving memory efficiency. Recent advances in memory research suggest methods that can be applied to enhance memory power. This case study discusses four aspects to lead to memory improvement: processing material actively, practicing retrieval, using distributed practice, and using metamemory. The combination of these four principles dramatically increases memory efficiency. This case further supports the examples above.
