Storing principle would be time dependency when the retention interval between encoding and retrieval when memory is either lost either by decay or interferences and trying to prevent this. One way to do so would be taking a break from studying either by reducing the studying time to 10 to 20 minutes known as spacing effect (Reder & Anderson,1982). Another would be taking naps to help store the memory. In order to help myself store the information, I reduce my study time to an hour and 10 minutes interval break to help retain the information into the Long term memory. Continuing this helps with later retrieving the information. Creating cues and also help in later recalling. Going back into the flashcards technique, instead of writing the words straight from the book, not only should it be in ones words, but question in the beginning that gives cues to help retrieve the information later would help. This is a part of the fifth principle known as Cue dependency, cues used to help with retrieval of memory and the richer and informative the cue is the better memory will be in …show more content…
In other words, if one study in a room such as their bedroom, the retrieval of information would be higher if they are in their bed room. Therefore matching our learning condition to our retrieval or testing condition memory would be harder to recall. One way would be studying in various places (Cite here), this would be something I would need to incorporate into my study regime for I only study in one to two places (my dinner table or bed room).The seventh principle would be state-dependency learning when the state, mood or location should be similar from encoding to retrieval such as if I am happy when I took in the information I should be happy in order to recall the information at ease. One way in incorporate this in my study habit is to not listen to music, for when I take exams or do quizzes music I cannot play music to assist in the retrieval
