Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Thinking about the meaning of each word during the encoding phase has been found to improve memory recall, as it helps to create meaningful associations with the words. Focusing on color or rhyming may not be as effective in improving recall. Spelling each word silently may be helpful for some individuals, but it is not as widely supported by memory research as meaningful encoding.
