Hello, host! What to do if memory declines? Memory is the reflection of past experiences in the human brain. It includes three basic processes: memorization, retention, reproduction and recall. Its forms include image memory, conceptual memory, logical memory, emotional memory, motor memory, etc.
The enemy of memory is forgetting. Improving memory actually means trying to avoid and overcome forgetting. As long as you carry out conscious exercise during learning activities and master the rules and methods of memory, you can improve and enhance your memory. Here are ten ways to enhance your memory.
1. Pay attention. When remembering, as long as you concentrate, concentrate, and eliminate distracting thoughts and external interference, the cerebral cortex will leave deep memory traces and make it difficult to forget. If you are distracted and multitasking, your memory efficiency will be greatly reduced.
2. Strong interest. If you are not interested in learning materials and knowledge objects, it will be difficult to remember them no matter how much time you spend.
3. Understand memory. Understanding is the basis of memory. Only what you understand can be remembered firmly and for a long time. It is not easy to remember just by rote memorization. For important learning content, if you can combine understanding and recitation, the memory effect will be better.
4. Over-learning. That is, on the basis of memorizing the learning materials, memorize them several times to achieve the level of memorizing and remembering them by heart. The optimal level of overlearning is 150.
5. Review in time. The speed of forgetting is fast at first and then slows down. Strike while the iron is hot and review and consolidate the knowledge you have just learned in a timely manner is an effective means to strengthen memory traces and prevent forgetting.
6. Remember often. When studying, continuous attempts to recall can correct memory errors, make up for omissions, and remember difficult learning content more firmly. In your spare time, you can also avoid forgetting by frequently recalling the objects you memorized in the past.
7. Combine reading, thinking, seeing and listening. You can use the functions of language and visual and auditory organs at the same time to strengthen memory and improve memory efficiency, which is much better than silent reading alone.
8. Use a variety of memory methods. Depending on the situation, flexible use of classification memory, characteristic memory, homophonic memory, argumentative memory, associative memory, interesting memory, chart memory, shortened memory and compilation of outlines, note-taking, cards and other memory methods can enhance memory.
9. Master the best memory time. Generally speaking, the best memory times are 9 to 11 am, 3 to 4 pm, and 7 to 10 pm. It is better to use the above time to memorize difficult-to-remember learning materials.
10. Use your brain scientifically. On the basis of ensuring nutrition, active rest, and physical exercise to maintain the brain, scientific use of the brain, preventing excessive fatigue, and maintaining a positive and optimistic mood can greatly improve the work efficiency of the brain. This is the key to improving your memory.
So, when does a person have the best memory? Everyone’s situation is different. There are some differences. You need to find out your best study time. The human brain has certain activity patterns throughout the day. : Generally speaking, the brain has the ability to think rigorously and thoughtfully at 8 a.m.; the most agile thinking ability is at 3 p.m.; the strongest memory is at 8 p.m.; and the reasoning ability gradually weakens within 12 hours during the day. According to these rules, as soon as you get up in the morning, people's imagination is rich, so they should seize the time to capture some inspiration, do some creative work, read Chinese and recite English words part-time. Since the air is fresh in the morning, they should participate in some physical exercise; do some rigorous work in the morning , listen carefully in class and take class notes; in addition to listening to class in the afternoon, do the written homework of the day quickly and accurately; strengthen memory and understanding in the evening, and preview the next day's homework. Arrange some effortless things to do in the free time at noon and evening, such as reading newspapers, collecting writing materials, walking and resting.
