• They create associations between information
• They are uncommon and abstract
• They are easy to remember

• Studying the same material at different times over a longer period of time.
• Studying for long periods of time without breaks.
• Studying the same material repeatedly in a short period of time.
• Studying different subjects in one sitting.

What is the role of mnemonics in memory?

• To improve working memory capacity
• To filter out irrelevant information
• To encode information in long-term memory
• To aid in memory retrieval

What is the Forgetting Curve and what does it imply about memory?

• The Forgetting Curve shows the importance of multiple connections in memory.
• The Forgetting Curve shows the rate at which we forget information over time.
• The Forgetting Curve shows the relationship between storage strength and retrieval strength in memory.
• The Forgetting Curve shows the role of repeated access in memory retention.
