Question

• What skill would you like to strengthen to assist in achieving your academic goals? What is one specific action you will take to develop that skill?

Answer 1

I would like to memorize more data by employing the "key word technique." Key word technique is a mnemonic method, which works by employing visual imagery that links two items in memory. This technique is useful for paired associative learning. For example, when a new set of vocabulary words are learning, an image is created to link these words with the words that we already know.

For example, if a word from Tagalog language, salamin (means glasses) is to be remembered, we link this to the known word salmon (a type of fish) wearing glasses. So, thinking of that image allows to remember a word from Tagalog.
