Chairperson, Graduate Committee: Greg FrancisSelle, Michelle Lynn2020-05-052020-05-052019https://scholarworks.montana.edu/handle/1/15695The ability for students to have a deep understanding of the material in anatomy and physiology stems from having a solid foundation of lower-level learning skills of the material at hand. One of the key lower-learning skills that allows students the ability to tap into the higher-level thinking is memorization. This does not refer to basic rote memorization, but memorization that can actually help to link neural connections and bring a greater depth of knowledge into the anatomy classroom. This study will investigate whether detailed instruction on three memorization techniques targeting multimodal learners impacts students' short-term and long-term memory, ultimately impacting depth of understanding in the anatomy/physiology classroom. The study will also explore student attitudes, mainly in reference to their confidence and stress levels, in regards to the memorization strategies taught.enAnatomyPhysiologyHigh school studentsMemoryStudents--AttitudesProfessional PaperCopyright 2019 by Michelle Lynn Selle
