Each of you is familiar with common psychological terms such as 'depression', 'regression', 'anxiety', and 'self-esteem'. Students will be able to remember more when you present it in a highly structured form without extraneous information. Stress key points by repeating them often. Make sure that you call attention to the critical attributes of a concept. Aural presentations are appropriate for familiar, simple, or very meaningful material.
Visual presentations facilitate learning more difficult material.
Finally, when teaching concepts, make sure that you provide examples as well as theory. Consequently, it will be easier for your students to recall at a later date. For example, rather than learning the characteristics associated with the fifty states, it is much easier to concentrate on geographical locations such as the Northeast, Midwest, etc. Organize the information further by relating all of the locations to specific categories such as natural resources, manufacturing, or population. A rapid rate of delivery can also increase information overload.
