| Description | "The Memory Matrix is simply a two-dimensional diagram, a rectangle divided into rows and columns used to organize information and illustrate relationships. In a Memory Matrix, the row and column headings are given, but the cells, the boxes within, are left empty. When students fill in the blank cells of the Memory Matrix, they provide feedback that can be quickly scanned and easily analyzed."

| Purpose | "The Memory Matrix assesses students’ recall of important course content and their skill at quickly organizing that information into categories provided by the instructor. By using this technique, teachers can quickly see not only whether their students have memorized the basic information but also how well they have organized that information in their memories." — Classroom Assessment Techniques, Angelo, TA and Cross, KP, 1993 |
