GENDER CHARACTERISTICS OR NATURAL DIFFERENCES? FEATURES OF REMEMBERING INFORMATION IN GIRLS AND BOYS. OPTIMIZATION OF THE MEMORIZATION PROCESS

Abstract

The article presents the results of a study of short -term and long -term memory in junior students. WOM-ASM, REST-COM, WOM-REST methods were used. We studied the percentage of correct answers and compared the results obtained by three methods with each other, as well as the data obtained in groups of boys and girls. At the first stage, short -term memory was assessed, at the second - long -term memory. It was established, that the formation of short -term and long -term memory when assessed by the above methods does not have significant sex differences. Visual memory of students is the most well developed, and complex memory is less developed. The weakest is memory for numbers. Girls memorize digital sequences less effectively than boys. To improve the process of fixing information, it is necessary to reasonably combine figurative and verbal -logical memory.
