WME study plan

Build a baseline profile of auditory memory by running three self-made forward digit-span trials (5-9 digits, spoken aloud at one digit per second) and recording the longest span recalled correctly twice in a row.

Practise chunking spoken number strings into groups of three or four and log how chunking changes your recall accuracy across ten trials.

Set up a daily 10-minute audio-only drill routine using recorded word lists, avoiding any visual support, and schedule it in a calendar for all eight weeks.

Write a personal error log that separates order errors from item-substitution errors in spoken recall.

Increase spoken letter-span practice to 15 trials per session and track correct-order recall per trial.

Apply a rehearsal-plus-grouping strategy to spoken word lists of 8, 10, and 12 items, and compare accuracy across list lengths.

Practise shadowing a spoken passage while holding two key numbers in mind, then report both numbers aloud.

Review the week-1 error log and rewrite your two weakest drills with a specific corrective tactic each.

Establish a visual memory baseline using self-drawn grids of abstract symbols shown for five seconds, recording the number of correctly placed symbols.

Compare whole-grid recall against partial-report recall (recall only the top row) across 20 trials to see which format you handle better.

Practise encoding unfamiliar line drawings by naming each one aloud at presentation, and measure whether verbal labelling raises recall.

Start a two-column log separating spatial-position errors from symbol-identity errors.

Run 20 visual working memory trials in which a briefly shown pattern must be held while performing a short interfering counting task, and record accuracy.

Test whether grouping symbols by colour or shape improves short-delay visual recall, and write down the size of the effect.

Reduce presentation time from five seconds to two seconds across sessions and chart the accuracy drop.

Identify and document one reliable personal encoding strategy for spatial layouts.
