Creating Long-Term Memory: Reflection and Application
This module highlighted the importance of techniques that reinforce long-term memory retention, such as spaced repetition, active recall, and connecting new information to prior knowledge. I learned that these methods help strengthen neural pathways, making it easier for students to retain and retrieve information over time.
To apply these insights, I plan to incorporate more spaced review sessions in my course, revisiting key concepts regularly instead of cramming them into single lessons. Additionally, I’ll encourage students to engage in active recall exercises and apply new concepts through hands-on activities, which will deepen their understanding and improve retention. By integrating these strategies, I hope to create a learning environment that supports lasting knowledge retention and prepares students for long-term success.
