I am going to cover three ways of organising information‚ which are: using mental images‚ forming concepts and developing schemas. I will describe each of them individually‚ starting with short definition‚ fallowed by an explanation of how can we use them to improve recall. Finally I will refer to experiments to endorse the claim.
