 Memorization is the process of
committing something to memory.
Mental process undertaken in order to
store in memory for later recall items
such as experiences, names, appointments,
addresses, telephone numbers, lists,
stories, poems, pictures, maps, diagrams,
facts, music or other visual, auditory, or
tactical information
Why to memorize?
 To remember the subject
 To gain confident
 To be successful in academic
 To cope up with the stress
Techniques of memorization
 Rote learning, a learning technique which
focuses not on understanding but on
memorization by means of repetition
 A mnemonic, Mnemonics are often verbal,
such as a very short poem or a special word
used to help a person remember something,
particularly lists, but they may be visual,
kinesthetic or auditory. Mnemonics rely on
associations between easy-to-remember
constructs which can be related back to the
data that is to be remembered.
 Eg:-POSDCORB
 A mnemonic link system, a method of
remembering lists, based on creating an
association between the elements of that
list.
 For eg :-
 when memorizing the list (dog, envelope,
thirteen, yarn, window), one could create
a story about a "dog stuck in an envelope,
mailed to an unlucky thirteen black cat
playing with yarn by the window".
A peg system,
 a technique for memorizing lists. It works
by pre-memorizing a list of words that are
easy to associate with the numbers they
represent (1 to 10, 1-100, 1-1000, etc.).
Those objects form the "pegs" of the
system.
A PEG SYSTEM
one – gun
two - shoe
three - tree
four - door
five - hive
six - sticks
seven - heaven
eight - bait (for fishing)
nine - wine
ten - pen
 The Major system, a mnemonic
technique used to aid in memorizing
numbers which is also called the phonetic
number system or phonetic mnemonic
system. It works by converting numbers
first into consonant sounds, then into
words by adding vowels.
 The Major system
Numeral Associated Consonants Mnemonic

z is the first letter of zero. The other letters have a

0 s, z, soft c
similar sound.

d & t have one downstroke and sound similar (some

1 t, d
variant systems include "th"

n has two downstrokes and looks something like "2"

2 n
on its side

3 m M has three downstrokes and looks like a 3 on its side

3 R‘s of Memorization
Attention, interest and emotions are the most
important factors important for converting any
information into memory.
 Registration: - This is the first step in the formation
of memory through five senses i.e. Hearing, smell,
taste, touches and sight The information enters to
brain through the senses.
 Retention: - The second step of memorization is
process of storing the received information for
longer duration.
 Recollecting: - The final step of the memorization is
the ability to recollect and use stored information
and is recollected when required
Principles for Effective
Memorization

 Use helpful visual aids in teaching memory

work. These will include pictures, flash
cards, chalkboard, flannelgraph, and
various kinds of projection
 .
 Remember that review is the key to
retention.Your students may memorize
information and then forget it days or
weeks later unless you subject them to
frequent recall.
 Always emphasize understandings and
meanings. Do not let students of any age
memorize just for the sake of
performance, but make sure they
understand the significance the learning
has in their own lives
What is concentration?
1. The ability to focus on the subject
without distraction .
2. The action or power of focusing all one's
attention.
How to concentrate?
 Take breathe in and breathe out exercise
before starting studying
 Choose comfortable study area without
distraction
 Take 5 to 10 minutes break in between
studies
 Keep repeating “I have unlimited brain power
.I can learn anything with concentration “
