With effective memory storage processes in mind, describe three different strategies you might use to help students store the information in their long-term memories easily and effectively. Using information processing theory, give a theoretical rationale for each of the strategies you propose.
If I were to teach my elementary students a unit on dinosaurs, I would first make arrangements to take a field trip to a natural history museum. This would allow them to better understand how large the dinosaurs really were if they have seen actual dinosaur skeletons at a museum. This will provide them with a meaningful learning set when they are learning about how large dinosaurs were because they will be able to make better sense of the information; they saw it for themselves. It will also allow them to learn more easily other items that associate with the largeness of dinosaurs because there will be things with which that new information can be associated.
