We all are dependent on our memory on a daily basis. At school, students need to retain and remember the contents they learn. Studies about human memory demonstrate that several strategies can be employed for efficient and long-term memorization. In order to evaluate the impact of the use of memory strategies on the ability to retain information in the long-term memory, a study was carried out with students from the 9th grade. At the same time, two memory strategies were used - the loci method and the history method. The results allowed to conclude that the content retention by the students increased, which is a good indicator of the positive effect of the use of these strategies in the classroom.
