PSY324 Assignment 2 Reflection Latest
PSY324 Assignment 2 Reflection Latest. Set the stage: Describe the setting of your presentation and to whom you were presenting. Describe the memory strategy(ies) from Chapter 6 you planned to use to teach the material to another person (1-3 paragraphs). I decided to show my presentation to my significant other because it was convienent since we live together and he also has ADHD. He sometimes has a hard time remembering everything I say-whether it’s academic or just something small I need to say to him. I set up my presentation in our living room, but made sure that there were no distractions. We have two cats who like to pay a lot which can be distracting, so I put them outside. I had my significant other put his phone away and had him sit on our couch. I casted the presentation on our television which is big and I thought this was the best way to present the slides. I wanted him to be able to see the visuals and my examples well. I plan on using divided attention, working memory, and self-reference effect. Divided attention is an important one because as I mentioned my signifant other has ADHD, so sometimes he will be on his phone when I’m talking to him. Most of the time when he’s doing this he only hearing a third of the things I’m saying. This is why I had him put his phone away to ensure that wouldn’t be a distraction. Chapter 4 pointed out that when professors speak or show slides too quickly, the working memory system can be overly taxed. This results in less information making it into the long-term memory. To make sure that this information makes it into my signifcant other’s working memory, I will read the slides at a good pace and even after I’m done reading, I’ll stay on the side for an extra 30 seconds. I want to make sure he can look at it once more to memorize any information he hasn’t. Lastly I plan to use the self reference effect to help my significant other remember this information in his long-term memory. Self-reference effect requires one to relate the material to your own experiences. In my examples I’ve already done this for myself, but I will ask my significant other to relate the seven sins of memory to his own personal life if he can. From the teacher’s perspective: Reflect on what it felt like to be the teacher. Did the memory strategies you used seem to be effective? Describe the general reaction of your student to the information on memory. (1-2 paragraphs) I honestly was nervous to present this information to my significant other. I’ve never done an assignment like this where I had to be the teacher, so I felt a bit of pressure to make a great presentation to make sure he can retain most of this information in his long-term memory. Before I even presented I made sure I wasn’t nervous because I didn’t want him to be distracted by that. I practiced my presentation a few times before doing it with him to feel confident and I think that helped a lot. During the actual presentation there were zero distractions which helped the divided attention aspect. When I was presenting I made sure to read the slides at a normal pace and remembered to give my signifcant other time to look at the slide before the next. When I was providing my examples I didn’t even have to ask him to tell me to relate it to his own life-my significant other told me he either had experienced the same thing or related one of the sins to his own life. I felt that because he did that he was truly engaged in the material and enjoyed it. He also pointed out that the colors and pictures I chose helped him stay engaged.
