The memory devices explained in the text include the following:
• Conceptual understanding (finding factual patterns and connections that help make concepts understandable and clear in one?s mind)
• Rehearsal (saying the item to be memorized over and over again, which focuses attention on the items to be learned and transfers material into long-term memory; in later years, rehearsal involves rereading material aloud or silently)
• Mnemonic method (artificial devices such as alphabet letters, acronyms, rhymes, and acrostics that program memory at deeper levels than rehearsal, often individually created for best effect)
• Test-Enhanced Learning (recalling information to answer a test question helps to establish it in memory).
