Write a letter to a recent high school graduate. Provide advice on how to do well in college
courses. In this case, stick to advice that is based on what you have now learned (in this course) about memory. Be sure to use appropriate vocabulary/terminology, provide specific examples and complete explanations.
Remember, your intended audience has no background in cognition, so write to explain to him/her, not to the professor. The letter should be in your own words and clearly demonstrate your understanding of the material. It should be no more than 2 double spaced pages.
Be sure to include information about the following:
Types of rehearsal
Active encoding
Depth of processing
Intention
Elaborate encoding
Organization
