1.-Prior learning. Relate new information to previously learning information.

2.-Quality of processing. Use numerous and varied deep-processing strategies.

3.-Quantity of Processing. Use frequent practice sessions of sufficient length distributed over time.

- The details with those who complete the information within the paragraph or text
