Services and supplies include: Consignment Items Supplies Special Orders Classes on request TEN MEMORY TECHNIQUES D Tips to enhance your study skills. Having an effective memory does not mean the ability to memorize the phone book, although there are people who can! For the student, having an effective memory means the ability to produce the right information at the right times. Here are some tips: BE ORGANIZED: Information that is organized is easier to find. LEARN FROM THE GENERAL TO THE SPECIFIC: Take time to understand the big picture, the details will be easier to recall. MAKE IT MEANINGFUL: Relate what you learn to your own personal life. We all learn more effectively when something has meaning to us. CREATE ASSOCIATIONS: Create a story to go with what you need to learn. Stories hold together several details in one image. BE PHYSICAL: Learning is an active process. Get all your senses involved. REALLY PUT SOMETHING IN YOUR MEMORY: The major reason why people forget something is because they never really learned it in the first place. VISUALIZE RELATIONSHIPS: Create pictures about things you want to learn. Draw diagrams and make cartoons. REDUCE INTERFERENCE: Turn off the stereo when you study. Stay away from the refrigerator. TAKE A BREAK: The brain needs a rest every 40 to 50 minutes. Go for a walk. Get some fresh air. BE AWARE OF YOUR ATTITUDE: We tend to forget information that we find boring or contradictory to our values. If you are experiencing difficulty, examine how you feel about what you are learning.
