Introduction: One of the most challenging symptoms of aphasia is an impairment in auditory comprehension. 2Department of Psychology, University of California, Berkeley, Berkeley, CA, United States.1Veterans Affairs Northern California Health Care System, Martinez, CA, United States.In addition to repetition, students can ask a speaker to say it louder, slower, or give more details if they know why they did not hear it the first time.Sandy J. For example, if the teacher was giving directions about an art project and the student didn’t hear everything, it would be better for them to ask “What did you say about the art project?” compared to just “What?” This shows the other person that they were trying to listen, and allows them to properly fill in the information that the student missed. Even better, I teach them to repeat the part they did hear and ask for clarification. Repetition is a helpful strategy for auditory memory because everyone misses something at some point, and students need to know the best ways to ask for repetition. Being able to identify the important information from the fluff language is helpful in understanding the message as a whole. I teach my students to look at the person who is speaking, focus their attention, and actually think about what they are saying. Good listening skills go hand in hand with this strategy. Rather than trying to remember everything that someone is saying, we focus on the important information that you hear. Paraphrasing is another important strategy that I teach my students to help with their auditory memory. You can also use chunking when recalling multistep directions. As the list gets longer, I show my students how I am able to remember so many items by chunking them into smaller groups. There is a fun auditory memory game called “I’m going on a picnic.” Each person takes turns adding one thing that they are bringing to the picnic. This works best for lists of items or numbers. Phone numbers are chunked into 3 or 4 numbers and that makes them easier to remember.
The best example of this is phone numbers. ChunkingĪnother auditory memory strategy is teaching students to break up what they are hearing into smaller parts. Visualization is also a reading comprehension strategy, and practicing it can help the student understand new information whether it is presented auditorily or through text.
Once they understand the visualization strategy, we apply it to listening and reading comprehension tasks. Then they draw it with as many details as they can remember. I will create a scene and then describe it to them, asking them to hold the image in their head. One way that I teach students to visualize is to picture what they hear in their head.I like to practice this skill with barrier games and other drawing activities.
Having them repeat the direction back to me before completing it not only helps them complete the task correctly, but it also practices a strategy that can be applied in everyday life. They self-rehearse the directions before completing the task. One way I practice this with my students is with following multistep directions. If I have to remember a short list of items at the store, I might repeat them to myself over and over: bananas, bread, eggs, bananas, bread, eggs. Self-rehearsal involves the repetition of words, It can be silent in your head, or quietly to yourself.
