Question

Mr. Dunbar is teaching a unit in literature. The unit is about fiction and includes vocabulary such as plot, setting, and character. In order to help his students remember the terms, Mr. Dunbar comes up with a story that uses crazy sights, outrageous sounds, and actions. What memory tool is Mr. Dunbar using?

Answer 1

Answer:

Mr Dunbar is using the tool of Association.

Explanation:

In psychology, Association simply refers to the practice of linking two or more information for ease of recall. This is the way the human brain is wired to recall.

Every information in the mind is an organisation of associated ideas, occurrences, things and so on.

So to help students learn and remember faster, good teachers use the power of association to help them recall easily.

For example, do you remember the song  "Do-Re-Mi" from Sound of Music?

That song teaches one how to memorize the music sofa in a fun and easy to recall way using imagery and association.
