Summary

The interactive small group workshop aims to present models of forgetting in relation to aided mnemonic recall. It is addressed to all students making requests for memory difficulties during their individual study method. On a theoretical level, we will discuss issues such as the forgetting curve, which depicts the percentage of learned information that is installed in long-term memory and that we forget over time. Mnemonic techniques are based on the recognition that the mnemonic trace fades or wears out over time or disuse. Also factored in is the presence of relevant and competing information that interferes with course retention, which interferes with retrieval, mnemonic recall, or displaces earlier information. On a practical level, we will work with exercises on individual course notes regarding the way to retain information, whether this happens with handwritten notes from the student himself or with electronic notes from the professor's lectures and slides. Emphasis will be placed on individual notes, their organization by the student, and easy mnemonic search and recall techniques.
