COGNITIVE SKILLS
How do you study? Do you have a quiet, safe place to concentrate?
Any interruptions? How do you memorize? Do you know about mnemonics?
What is an acronym? Do you use visualizations? Can
chewing gum help you remember? Can
scheduling meaningful breaks really help you remember?
Do you work to your
strengths?
Word games, number lists, kinesthetic learning, sound
utilization, viewpoints, these are just some of the means to remembering
data and concepts. Do you
know any of these? You
probably do but don’t recognize them as such.
These study skills and others are invaluable in coping with the
need to remember and synthesis the increasing volume and complexity of
high level information and concepts you need in school today.
I will introduce you to some simple but very effective cognitive
skills that will not only shorten your learning time but also increase
your functional memory and deepen your understanding of the materials you
are presently learning. Skills
that are proven to be more effective than all the repetitious
memorization and tedious note taking you could ever do.
Isn’t it time to work smarter not harder?
