The value of the knowledge retained, closely akin to rote memorization, was limited, since sleep learning did not allow the subjects to ascertain the relevance or context of the information they were supposedly learning.
For example, there is significant emphasis on the importance of deep learning, which involves analyzing new learning in relation previous knowledge, compared to surface learning, which is limited to memorization, recall, and rehearsal (Fredricks et al., 2004; Kahu, 2013; Lam et al., 2012).
The balking of students to putting verse to heart by rote memorization is not limited to poetry.
With regard to motivation, in traditional learning, students are less motivated because textbooks are less fun and lack involvement (Hake, 1998), homework and extensive memorization discourage students to learn, and interactions between students are limited (Ericksen, 1984).
Memorization is half the battle and there are many different ways to memorize.
Durkin's race-by-race ritual of memorization is twofold.
Teaching fads are generally dismissed, memorization is encouraged and smart boards are nowhere to be seen.
The memorization is fantastic, but I don't think it affects memory.
As apparent in part III, tests are geared toward rote memorization, not critical analysis; indeed, memorization is often what differentiates high scores from low ones.
Sometimes, memorization is the key.
