1. Increasing attention
Attention refers to focusing on information and registering it,
isolating it from all possible distracters. This is an important prerequisite for all memory. For a learner to increase memory Needs to:
• Select a study environment, which does not contain too many distractions. Distractions will refer to unnecessary noise, heat, cold activities and things that appeal to sight or hearing.

2. Rehearsal
Rehearsal refers to the repetition of what has been learned in the school setting. It may
refer to what is commonly referred to as study. As learners conduct their study it is
important to ensure that they engage in repetition of correct responses with the awareness
what the responses relate to. For the study to be successful, the student should:
• Organize study timetable
• Conduct individual study, for example, how to pick
out important facts, review them immediately and again later
• Learners should be trained how to engage in distributed practice or massed practice
depending on reasons for study
3. The use of mnemonic devices
Mnemonic Devices are techniques that have been developed to improve memory particularly memory for bits of unrelated information. Example is peg word method.
