| Review: |
"Hosted by cartoon characters Memory Man and the Recall Kid, this humorous look at memory depicts how it works and how students can use various techniques for memory improvement. Narrated by an adult female, the program begins with definitions of short and long term memory, and then provides many practical suggestions or memory improvement. Techniques such as using mnemonic devices, the peg method, and keyword visualization are first described and then demonstrated using a combination of cartoon and live-action sequences. Along the way, tidbits of helpful suggestions and information round out this informative and appealing look at an important aspect of developing solid study skills. Information is further reinforced with graphics and captions. The ethnically diverse actors combined with a genuinely funny script make this worthwhile for middle and high schools seeking to add to their study skills collections."
