(rehearsal type) rehearsal 7. ginny is a college freshman. she is taking a course in biology, a subject she never had in high school. when she takes notes, she desperately tries to write down every word the instructor says. instead she should the information. 8. carin hates to read. she wants to get it over with quickly, so she reads large amounts of material at a time. then she complains that she can never remember what she has just read. she should try using the method. 9. dylan has memorized a list of names by imagining each person in a specific spot in his dorm room. one person is in the closet, another is under the bed, one is hanging upside down from the ceiling and son on. what is he doing? 10. burt had to memorize a speech. burt did it by creating visual images associating list items with parts of a well - known place. what technique did burt use?

Explanation:

1. Mnemonics are memory - aids, and acronyms are a type of mnemonic.
2. Chunking is the process of grouping small units of information into larger chunks to increase short - term memory capacity.
3. The encoding specificity principle states that memory is enhanced when the encoding context (where study occurred) matches the retrieval context (where recall occurs).
4. Distributed practice involves spreading out study sessions over time, which is more effective than cramming.
5. The method of loci is a mnemonic device that associates items with locations.
6. Elaborative rehearsal involves thinking about the meaning of information, which is better than simple repetition (maintenance rehearsal).
7. Instead of writing down every word (verbatim note - taking), Ginny should summarize or organize the information.
8. Carin should use the SQ3R (Survey, Question, Read, Recite, Review) method or similar active reading methods to improve memory.
9. Dylan is using the method of loci by associating names with locations in his dorm room.
10. Burt is using the method of loci by creating visual associations with a well - known place.
