-A clown sat in a chair watching TV. As he sat, he heard a deer get shot by an arrow. Bull's eye! That deer left behind donuts that were bought for him by a cow that sold her milk jug to buy them. The clown then decided to put cake on a mousetrap to lure a mouse out of hiding. That's all I was able to get in the time limit.
-My experience was surprisingly difficult. When asked to recall the objects I had a tough time getting all of them to come back to me. It probably didn't help that I wasn't able to get all of the objects into the story within the time limit. I feel it did help keep some objects for longer than they would have had they been in a list. This elaboration is good I feel if there is more time spent on the elaboration. In short time spans though I feel as if it is too difficult to elaborately encode large chunks of information in a manner that you will effectively be able to retrieve them.
-This activity influences memory by weaving the different objects together into something tangible that the learner can relate to instead of processing it as raw data. This increases working memory because it is easier to hold on to something that has been created for the purpose of weaving all the different things together. I feel like this strategy works best for sensory memory because you can't commit such a story to long term memory in such short of a time for the most part. This would help you increase your initial sensory memory for longer than the given few seconds that you can usually remember something.
