10 ways to increase memory

SHARE WITH FRIENDS:

From a young age, I have always been interested in developing memory, owning a “super-phenomenal” brain. It was as if he was giving me a book to drink like water and I was thinking of memorizing it and using the information I read later effectively. As a student myself, I used to think a lot about how to prepare for exams quickly and thoroughly. The following are some of the most popular tips from around the world.

1. Basics of memory development

I will discuss the basics of memory in more detail later. After all, that’s the main theme of my blog. But to give an overall picture, I can say that these are focusing, mnemonics, applying the latest scientific findings, structural reading and MIND OF THE MIND (mindmapping) and new innovative-interactive methods.

2. Constantly learning the News

One way you can develop clear memory is to constantly learn something new. Or, in short, like the Uzbek proverb, "Seek knowledge from the cradle to the grave." Many studies show this as a result. In 2004 «Nature» the article revealed that according to him, whoever was exposed to more information, the amount of gray matter in the brain increased. This division of the brain, in turn, is often associated with visual memory.

Simply put, if you are learning English, you need to continue on a regular basis without stopping. This can be summed up in English by the principle of “Use it or Lose it”. This phenomenon even has a scientific name. According to this phenomenon, called pruning, the nerve pathways in the brain become stronger and thicker during repetition, and, conversely, the nerve fibers that carry the knowledge formed shrink and disappear by themselves.

I have seen a clear proof of this in many students who are engaged in intellectual games "Zakovat". Their memory is always sharp, because they are always memorizing new information and facts. Because our brains, in a sense, become sharper as you use them like a knife, and if you don't use them, they start to become obsolete.

3. Learn in different ways

According to Judy Wills, “The more regions of the brain are used to store information, the more interactions there are. It's about learning, not just remembering. ”

Usually there will be people who are Visual, Auditor and Kinesthetic learners. Here, visual learners are meant to be good learners, and the auditor is meant to be good learners when hearing, and kinesthetic learners are meant to be learners with actions. The advice is to try to memorize using more than one method. You can learn by listening to a language while watching a video, reading and writing, or by explaining it to a friend. Look for different ways, because uniformity is not to our liking and the brain gets bored right away.

4. Teach another person what you have learned

Teaching as a learning is a method that has become very popular. When I was still in school, I remember our math teacher telling me to come prepared and explain to the students. This will definitely lead to a better understanding of the topic, because it is possible to understand, but it will be a little difficult to explain. Especially with words. If you can handle it, it's a sign that you understand the subject well. In the words of Aristotle, "I understand, so I teach."

Another reason this technique works is that as you study the message, you rely on your own experience and your own words to explain it. One thing I noticed at my institute was that as the exams approached, when I explained the topics to a friend, my subject in science became stronger.

5. Previous knowledge is conducive to subsequent knowledge

Creativity is defined by the Encyclopedia Britannica as creativity that happens when you combine your previous knowledge with new knowledge. Accordingly, the effective learner is the one who binds these connections. That is, an association - if you tell me to draw a map of Italy now, you can draw, and if I tell you to draw a Danish, you may not draw, because you associated Italy with knowledge before you, that is, in the form of ethics (everyone knows that). Knowing what ethics is helps you remember the map of Italy. By the way, Association is one of the most basic laws of this memory, so it is said that if you have an association, you will remember that information, if there is no association, you will not remember anything.

6. Gain practical experience

Confucius said, "I hear - I know, I see - I remember, I do - I understand." This means that when we read a book, attend lectures, spend time in the library or swim on the internet and see information and write it down to some extent, it is best to remember and understand the application of knowledge to real life. is one of the methods. If you’re into sports, or learning new exercises, practicing on your own is a big step in learning to exercise well. Or you may be well versed in car driving theory. But without practice, that knowledge will not be deep, and by going through a lot of practice, you can become a “Schumacher” while driving a car without any difficulty later.

7. The logic of getting an answer is more effective than remembering it

I had a different love for math because of the efforts of my math teachers, and our teachers were always repeating: don’t remember the answer, learn how to solve it. Yes, even through this method, I still know where the face of the triangle, the geron formula, and many other formulas came from, and I still remember them. If you need a formula or a message, remembering where it took root will ensure that it stays in your memory for a long time. Sometimes you can't remember the answer, but even in such cases you will be able to reach the answer by thinking about its logic.

8. Which one is your method

Another important step in your memory and quick learning is to know your best learning habits and methods. This will definitely give you an optimal level of result. A lot of theories have been published about this. One could be Howard Gardner’s theory of ‘multiple intellects’ or Carl Jung’s views on different learning styles, which can serve as a great strategy in learning. I will report on the above topics in future posts as well. Most importantly, you need to develop in the way you like.

9. Solving tests speeds up learning

It turns out that test solutions are much more useful than just reading. In fact, it’s a bit of an intuition to say that spending a lot of time reading leads to the highest level of learning, but several sources have led to the following results: Solving a topic-related test by remembering the material you’ve learned shows its benefits in staying. One study gives students time to read and then uses a test, as a result of which representatives of this group remember the material for a long time. When this result was passed among the other students, and they were read more in overtime, they showed a lower result than the first group. Frankly, this method is a bit unfamiliar to me, I still remember when I was an entrant I had to memorize a very large amount of message for 1 year like all entrants, and all the students would write questions and tests while preparing for literature according to my tutor’s great recommendation, and then distributed to each other. As a result, we benefited in two ways: we were directly involved in asking questions and answering the questions of others. It was easy to check the answers as well.

10. Stop doing multiple exercises at once

For so many years, we have imagined that whoever multitasking (multitasking - doing multiple tasks at once) will be superior to others. Everyone knows that Caesar, Lenin and Leonardo Davinci knew this amazing ability. But recent research has shown that individuals who do multitasking are actually less effective. This misconception is actually characterized by the fact that our brain can focus on one situation at a time. The bottom line is that the basis of effective reading is to focus on one exercise at a time. It is said that it is better to catch one than to chase two rabbits.
