The increased likelihood that we’ll remember information meaningful to ourselves is called ____.

 

Expert Solution
Step 1

Learning using different techniques is quite useful in remembering the aspects and encoding the information properly. There are different types of encoding that will help us remember things more accurately. So these techniques of encoding could be used to remember effectively:

1. Elaborate encoding: Learning and remembering are more effective if we learn a topic completely. We can remember better if the information is processed fully.

2. Self-reference effect: We can remember and recall better if we encode the information making a self-reference in a meaningful way.

Example: Keeping the atm pin number as one's own birthdate can help in better retention of the pin number than when kept as a random number.

3. Spacing effect: Learning is effective and remembered well if we study in a short period of time with space eventually.

Example: Studying a little bit about a topic every day can help us remember better than last-minute learning.
