This study assesses the effects of the use of learning strategies on student literacy performance based on the 2002 Hong Kong Program for International Student Assessment. The descriptive statistics show that students use the memorization strategy almost as frequently as the elaboration strategy. Independent sample t-tests reveal that female students prefer to use more memorization strategies a...

Memorization of the temporal sequences is very important and interesting problem. One of the examples is memorization of melodies. When we memorize melodies, we can recall it from a part. The function can be considered as an associative memory of the temporal sequences. From a technical point of view, it can be considered that the rest of the melody can be determined by some leading some notes....

For 40 years researchers have studied minimal groups using a variety of induction procedures that, surprisingly, have never been formally evaluated. The present paper reports two experiments that compared minimal group induction procedures based on (a) memorization of novel ingroup names, (b) an imagination instruction, (c) random assignment, and (d) false feedback from painting preferences. Th...

This paper presents a subexponential lower bound for the recently proposed snare memorization non-oblivious strategy iteration algorithm due to Fearnley. Snare memorization is a method to train policy iteration techniques to remember certain profitable substrategies and reapply them again. We show that there is not much hope to find a polynomial-time algorithm for solving parity games by applyi...

What is the relationship between memorization of information and the behavior used to retrieve that information? Searching for photos stored on a media is a common activity. Chances are that it is easier to find some types of photos than others. To determine the reason for this, we conducted a user study to clarify the mechanisms people use to retrieve information. We found that the operational...

As a result of the high increase in information and competitiveness in today’s society, people tend to suffer from stress-related symptoms as well as difficulties with memorization. These difficulties in memorization tend to be related to aging of the brain 1,2) . These problems have become large issues over recent years, and a matter of concern in learning ability and memorization among men’s ...

Three experiments were conducted to investigate the existence of incidentally acquired, long-term, detailed visual memory for objects embedded in previously viewed scenes. Participants performed intentional memorization and incidental visual search learning tasks while viewing photographs of real-world scenes. A visual memory test for previously viewed objects from these scenes then followed. P...
