Final answer:

Creating a concentration game and devising a practice test are strategies associated with the memory principle of 4. retrieval, which helps move information from short-term to long-term memory through active recall.

Step-by-step explanation:

Creating a concentration game and devising a practice test, such as True/False questions, in preparation for an exam are strategies associated with the memory principle of retrieval. This technique involves practicing the recall of information to move it from short-term to long-term memory. When you create practice tests, you are actively recalling the information, which promotes better memory consolidation. Similarly, concentration games make you remember and match pairs of items, thus enhancing the ability to retrieve information from your memory.

These strategies are based on the idea that the more you practice bringing information back into conscious awareness, the better you can retrieve it when needed. Certain strategies like elaborative rehearsal and distributed practice are also mentioned in the context of memory enhancement, but they are specific to elaborating on the information or spacing out study sessions over time, not directly related to the creation of games or practice tests for memory retrieval.
