The Memory Factory is a tool designed to help students better understand memory function. The floor plan of working “memory factory” clearly depicts the flow of information into and through various departments, where it is sorted, retrieved, and assembled. Self-assessments encourage students to think about thinking, and discover their strengths and weaknesses with memory. Evaluators and teachers use the assessments and Guidelines to customize instruction and assist students in overcoming particular difficulties.

1983-WX	The Memory Factory Floor Plan 1–5 pricing: 20.05 6+ pricing: 14.05 The Memory Factory Floor Plan is a hands-on method for helping to demystify memory function, an essential yet often misunderstood ingredient in school. By “touring” the floor of the “Memory Factory,” an engaging diagram of memory processes, students discover how information is processed and retained, how memory functions during academic tasks, and how they can improve their short-term, active working, or long-term memories. After the tour, students complete a self-assessment of their “personal memory factory” to determine how their memory functions and the areas in which they excel or need improvement. The Memory Factory Floor Plan is available in sets of one dozen.
