You are new to your job as a part-time tennis instructor with the city recreation program. Your supervisor informs you that the most important thing for you to do is learn the names of all your students by the second day of class. You have two tennis classes, each with eight children. What can you do to ensure that you will know all of your student's names by the second tennis class?
What will be an ideal response?
The most important strategy is to make sure you are paying attention when the children first introduce themselves to you. If you are inattentive, you will not retain the names and move the names into your working memory or store them in long-term memory. A second strategy is to engage in elaborative rehearsal and find a way to connect the new information to something you already know. For example, you might try to make a connection between the name of your tennis student and someone you already know by the same name. In addition to making a name connection, make a mental picture.
