Creating long term memory

It would appear that the good Doctor is saying that repetition leads to memory retention.

Socorro , some research in Alzeimer patients have found this to be true.

I heard if you do puzzles it helps with memeory retention. Is this true?

Odette, if you use an activity to teach instead of lecturing on it, it can actually take you less time for the students to master the knowledge and or skill. It is a misperception that it takes more time than traditional approaches.

I find that our timelines in the classroom leave very little opportunity for this.

Open questions can serve as helpful teaching tools.

Use of Q&A on already studied material along with newly studied material would faciltate long term memory.

Repeating things more than once can result in student improvement in memory.

Repetition is truly the key to retention. Any way we can find to do this without the students knowing it is repetition, the netter.

Very true. I teach medical terminology and one of the ways to get the students prepared for quizzes is to review and repeat.

Not only is the good doctor saying it, but educational research supports this theory.
