COGNITIVE AND LINGUISTIC MECHANISMS IN VOCABULARY LEARNING AND RETENTION

Author: Bakhridinova, Nargiza Sobirovna; Baxtiyorova, Guli Shahzodovna

Annotation: This paper examines how people learn and remember new vocabulary. It focuses on three main strategies: organizing words by topic (like sorting items into rooms in a house), connecting new words to real-life situations and personal experiences, and learning all the different forms of a word at the same time. The paper draws on existing research in cognitive psychology and language learning to support these ideas. The findings suggest that vocabulary is remembered much better when it is organized, personally meaningful, and learned in complete form. These strategies are simple enough for any learner to apply in daily study.

Keywords: vocabulary learning, memory organization, topic-based learning, real-life application, word forms, retention.
