Improving memory: Top ten efficient memory methods
1.351-351 memory method
According to memory curve analysis, if the memorized content is not reviewed after 20 minutes, More than 40% will be forgotten, and about 65% will be forgotten after 9 hours. According to the law of memory curve, Hermann Ebbinghaus invented a memory method called the "351-351 memory method".
The specific method is: after you have memorized all the content you need to learn, try to recall it within 3 hours. Next, review it again within 5 hours, 10 hours, 3 days, 5 days, and 10 days. After these 6 times of learning, long-term memory will be formed.
2. Associative memory method
Associative memory method is a method of using the connection between things to remember through association. The more exaggerated the Lenovo picture is, the more impressive it will be, because exaggerated pictures can stimulate people's senses and make the impression more profound.
In memory training, you don’t have to worry about whether your imagination is too unrealistic. You only need to associate the imaginary images, sounds, movement rhythms, etc. with the content you want to remember. You can combine the key points in your memory, which is many times better than mechanical memory.
3. Reading aloud and reciting memory method
When studying, read over and over again until you are familiar with it. This method is called the reading aloud method, also called the chanting method. It is very effective in memorizing poems and foreign language words read aloud. But reading should be combined with recitation, and the effect will be better.
4. Memory method of covering key parts
First use a pen or paper to cover the content that you think is difficult to remember. When reading these materials, imagine what the covered part is. . If you really can't remember it, remove the pen or paper and repeat it several times until you remember it.
5. Conversation Memory Method
Discussing and conversing with classmates about recently memorized knowledge is the most effective memory method. During the conversation, the content of the conversational knowledge will make your own memories that are not yet rooted and those that you are not confident in. After the conversation, they will become solid memories and will be more firmly imprinted in your mind.
6. Listening to the recording memory method
Record the knowledge in your own voice. When listening to your own recording, recite the knowledge silently or make a sound in your mind, and sing with it. The effect will also be to strengthen memory. Especially when memorizing foreign language words, just making monotonous sounds is not as good as adding auditory stimulation.
7. Urgent memory method
When a person concentrates on remembering, interference due to one's own inertia, self-repression, and emotional fluctuations can be reduced to the lowest point, while the potential memory ability , after breaking through these interferences and repressions, it is naturally easy to develop, so the memory efficiency is often twice, even three or four times that of usual.
8. Inductive memory method
It is to summarize the memory contents according to different attributes, and then remember the contents and their attributes in categories. In actual operations, tables can be used to summarize the content of knowledge points, and mind maps, tree summary diagrams, etc. can be used to clarify the rules and internal logic of knowledge points.
9. Time-limited memory method
The brain is also inert, but when a person needs time-limited memory, the brain will automatically put into a "last-ditch" battle. The various functions of the person concentrate on the target to be memorized and work together, and the memory effect is excellent at this time. At the critical moment, people will push themselves harder to remember. Therefore, when you find that your reading efficiency is not high, you can limit the time to memorize, and you will definitely have better results.
10. Inferential memory method
A method to help memory through mutual deduction. This method is mostly used for memorizing mathematical knowledge. If people want to remember a conclusion, the best way is to find something related to it to establish an association, and reasoning is the thing closest and most direct to the conclusion. Moreover, the connection between the two is essentially constant. If you master the reasoning process, you can easily remember the conclusion, and you can re-remember it even if you forget it for a moment. Therefore, the reasoning memory method is one of the effective memory methods.
