Names and Faces

At the beginning of each new semester or school year, teachers are faced with the challenge of remembering names for a large number of new students. Design an experience to help an educator match faces to names, with the goal of shortening the time needed to reach complete un-aided accuracy. Provide a high-fidelity mock for at least one step of this experience.

Moneta

Moneta is a platform that helps teachers to remember and match students’ names to faces, in terms of short-term and long-term memory. Teachers are likely to make memos to each student and quickly check the match of names and faces, avoiding an embarrassing situation.

Overview

In China, teachers will spend quite a lot of time on remembering their students’ name as well as match names to faces. Based on two significant scenarios, this product is capable to shorten the time and improve teacher’s cognitive abilities by various ways from shorter-term memory to long-term memory. Making notes is a short-term memory method to make associations with names and faces during a class. Also, a quick game is a way to reinforce a long-term memory.

Goal

- Remember students' names efficiently and quickly

- In a short time

- In un-aid circumstances

Research

Preliminary ideas

When I got this prompt an interesting idea hit my mind because when I was senior one I have considered a question how to match peers' names to faces and avoid awkwardness. At that time, I would give a nickname to my classmate and noted down a characteristic, like a naughty boy, a dimpled girl. Curious drives me to dig more information about memory and cognition.

And some assumptions and ideas are as follows:

-Depends on my experience, I searched the information on the Internet that why people forget names and how to memory names and faces quickly.

-I scripted some interview questions and tried to describe a day of a teacher in the school and figure out some methods educator usually used.

Why do you forget their name

1.Baker effect.It is a phenomenon that people have no mental links and is vulnerable to forgetting.

2.The brain can’t make connections between multiple pieces of information, particularly things you already know or feel familiar with, then you are more likely to forget that information.

3.Next in line effect.People simply aren’t very good at both disseminating information at the same time we try to take in and store new information. The short-term memory can’t hold so much information so that it fades away quickly.

How to remember well

1.Pay attention.Focus on it when people tell you initially.

2.Repeat names.Use their names and repeat it often when it is in your short-term memory. Practice their names and create a bit of muscle memory to go along with it.

3.Build associations.The more funny and clever connections you can make for your brain the better off you will be. or picture a more physical connection, like create a visual connection that will help you to remember.

4.Find out the names ahead of time, when possible. People do better at learning names when they see the names ahead of time.

Interviews

I have interviewed four teachers: Primary school(x2), High school(x1), University(x1).

Before interviews, I scripted some questions:
