Recall Of Long-Term Memories Analysis
The retrieval and reconstruction of memories can be negatively impacted by time decay and interference. To aid in the recall of long-term memories several techniques have been proposed by cognitivists. A recent cognitive study technique for helping students in the classroom to understand and recall information is the PQ4R method (Slavin, 2012). This technique involves students in the meaningful organization of information through productive strategies that include distributing practice, elaborating material, and generating questions.
