Increase(s) Long‑Term Memory
- Group concepts into meaningful units (organization/chunking aids encoding into LTM)
- Self‑test (retrieval practice strongly strengthens long‑term retention)
- Repetition (especially spaced repetition; massed rereading is weaker but spaced practice boosts LTM)
Increase(s) Working Memory
- Group concepts into meaningful units (chunking reduces number of items WM must hold)
- Repetition (maintenance rehearsal keeps items active in WM short‑term)
- Skim the chapter again (re‑reading briefly refreshes info in WM but does little for durable LTM)
Quick note: For best final‑exam results focus on elaboration/organization, spaced repetition, and frequent self‑testing rather than just skimming or massed re‑reading.
