Abstract
Short‐term memory is continually required in human's daily routine . It is used to recollect the data from recent events that occur in day to day life. It is difficult to acquire living chores without utilizing short‐term memory storage and encoding. Various stimuli seen or heard are employed in the brain to form audio‐visual memory. The main objective of our study visual tasks on improving the short term memory status and to retain it. The study was conducted on 144 medical students of the 18‐25 years age group in BRIMS Institute, Bidar. The short‐term memory status was assessed pre and post testing by visual tasks. Paired ‘t’ test was the analytical method for the pre and post‐testing results of the memory status after applying memory improvement methods. Comparison of mean and SD between all groups was done by using one way ANOVA test. There was statistically significant improvement in short‐term memory status of visual tasks after application of memory encoding methods. Due to the use of memory encoding methods, there was a statistically significant improvement in memory status in all the subjects, males and females. There were no significant differences between males and females in short‐term memory status for visual tasks after application of memory encoding methods.
