Increasing memory at school is a critical factor in improving the overall educatione experience. By expanding this cognitive skill students can remember more and gain increased confidence in learning. An experiment by Schunk and Hanson, studied grade 2 students who had previously experienced some difficultoes in learning mathematics. The research aimed to evaluate the type of stimuli affected by social learning theory.
 

One group of students observed a subtraction demonstration by a teacher and then participated in an instructional program on subtraction. A second group observed other grade 2 students performing the same subtraction procedures and then participated in the same instructional program. The students who observed peer models scored higher on a subtraction post-test and also reported greater confidence in their subtraction ability. .
 

The tests showed in conclusion that the great the abilility to memorize theories and patterns, the greater the confidence in the application of such mathematical rules. MIND360 has developed a range of online memory games that target this skill to give students an improved memory range in school.
