Question

What will you do if you have to prepare a long speech covering all the activities in your college and present at the annual function?

Answer 1

I will make a summary of the main points covering all the major activities and keep it handy with me in case I miss out on certain points at the function. This will provide retrieval cues I will also prepare the detailed speech in a sequential context so that it is easier to recollect. I will go over the speech a number of times for better retention. Since it is a long speech I will memorize it in parts using memory techniques like chunking and visualization. I will also try to take some rest after the final rehearsal so as to minimize interference. Most importantly, I will not stress out so that the retrieval process is easier and more efficient.
