How do people take in information?

Short term memory (STM)

STM (‘primary’ or ‘active memory’) is the capacity to hold a small amount of information in a readily available state for a short period of time. The duration of STM memory is believed to be seconds, for 7 + – 2 items

Long term memory (LTM)

• When items are first presented, they enter the STM but because it has limited space, as new items enter, old ones leave. However each time an item is rehearsed while in STM, it increases its strength in LTM. The longer an item stays in STM the stronger the association becomes in LTM

• The transfer of items from STM to LTM is called consolidation

•So minimise the points you want to put across to 7 or so

•And repeat them•So minimise the points you want to put across to 7 or so

•And repeat them

habits / ‘ers’ & ‘ums’

•Voice pitch, pace & tone, speak naturally, clearly, with emphasis

•Look at all of your audience – in the eyes

•Pause to aid reinforcement•Use gestures IF appropriate•Beware of body movements –

‘fiddling’• If it goes wrong stop and

reorganise
