In order to remember something new, we need to

associate it or
visualize it or
group it or
pattern it
in some ridiculous or
rhyming or
rhythmic or
symbolic or
colorful way
with something we already know and remember.

If we do nothing within the first 20 seconds to help retain a new piece of information, we will probably forget it.

The sooner we do something with the new material, the longer we are apt to remember it.

STEPS

1. Identify the material we need to remember.
2. Select a strategy to use in memorizing it.
3. Associate it.
4. Visualize it.
5. Group it.
6. And then... repeat... repeat... repeat
7. And then... repeat again.

The world of liberal arts and sciences is about being changed and being driven by ideas. At Emmanuel College, we believe in the value of a liberal arts and sciences education, our proud tradition since 1919.

We offer opportunities in the pursuit of learning, teaching, exploration and research in more than 25 areas of study. We take these studies to new levels from Art, Education, English and History to Biology, Psychology, Global Studies and Chemistry. We encourage the pursuit of an Individualized Major by tailoring a course of study from our offerings.
