Training methods to enhance memory 1. A Simple Method to Enhance Memory Ability
(a) Recall the details of the day
You can do this memory enhancement exercise before going to bed every day. If you can honestly insist on doing it every night for a month, the result will surprise you.
Before going to bed, sit or lie with your back to your head, but keep awake within 10 15 minutes.
Relax yourself by consciously doing breathing exercises for a few minutes.
Start with the last thing you did today and remember the most specific details. This may include lying comfortably in bed and paying attention to your breathing movements.
Then think ahead and recall what you did before, maybe climbing into bed. Then before that, maybe brush your teeth and remember your feelings and thoughts.
Imagine that your whole day is a movie film, and now it is being played backwards. It's like walking backwards or talking backwards, just like watching a movie backwards. If so, you are an audience (and a memory) and look back on every moment of your day.
For example:
I lay in bed and began to recall my day.
I walked from the bathroom to the bed.
I walked from the dresser to the bathroom.
I stood by the dresser and said this to my wife or husband.
I walked into the bedroom from the living room and stood by the dresser.
I turn off the TV and lights in the living room.
I sat in my favorite chair and watched with my feet stretched out.
Before that, I saw a full moon rising from the horizon of Ran Ran through the window.
? Review your day step by step. You may find that the closer the time is to the present, the more details you remember; What happens early in the day is the most hasty and short.
(2) Drawing maps and refining memories
Find a street map of the city, choose a community, draw a circle around more than ten streets, and then look at the map for 3 minutes by observation. Use a timer to ensure the accuracy of time. Close the picture without looking. Timing 1 min.
Redraw the map from memory, including street names and locations.
Keep practicing until you can draw the picture accurately in less than 60 seconds.
Then expand the city street map to more than 20 streets, observe the map for another 3 minutes, and then close the map without looking. Timing 1 min.
Redraw the map from memory, including street names and locations.
Keep practicing until you can draw the picture accurately in less than 90 seconds.
(3) A face that will never be forgotten
Once a day, randomly select an object, a picture or a person and observe carefully for 2 minutes.
Look away and draw the object you just observed. In the end, don't look at this picture, draw another one from memory.
Change the observation object every day for a week. Then, put these pictures away and redraw them from memory.
Pay attention to the differences and differences between the images drawn successively.
Stick to some methods for several weeks until the end of the week, and you can accurately redraw the pictures you draw every day of the week.
How to remember your sneakers
Find a pair of shoes, preferably your own sneakers. After studying it carefully for 5 minutes, it seems that I have never seen such shoes. Remember, you are trying to store everything you see in your memory, so watch carefully.
After 5 minutes, put your shoes away and remember what you just saw. How much have you forgotten? Take a break.
15 minutes later, how much did you forget when you recalled the last memory of the shoes?
When you recall the last memory of shoes, remember that you will recall this memory after 15 minutes. Take a break.
/kloc-After 0/5 minutes, recall the last memory of the shoes. How much did you forget about the last memory this time?
Second, get super memory through music.
When you need to study and learn a specific knowledge system, such as a foreign language. Do this exercise when preparing test materials or anything new and complicated that you want to understand. When doing this kind of exercise: On the one hand, are you relaxed? Baroque? Music, let the body and mind relax, keep listening; At the same time, on the other hand, you need someone to read the material aloud to you, or you can record it yourself in advance, or put out English articles and words on the CD to prepare and then listen to them yourself.
Training method to enhance memory 1, alternate memory method.
Also known as distributed memory, French attaches importance to head and tail memory. This is a method of memorizing different mnemonic materials through time allocation and alternation. Memorizing the knowledge of a subject for a long time is not effective, because the stimulation of materials of the same nature to the brain nerve is too monotonous. Over time, the corresponding areas of the brain are overburdened and prone to fatigue, and will change from excited state to protective inhibition state, which is manifested as dizziness, brain swelling and inattention, which is not conducive to memory.
Psychological research tells us that in the process of memory, what we remember first has an inhibitory effect on what we remember later, which is called postmortem inhibition (we use it to represent it); What you remember later also inhibits what you remember first, which is called reverse inhibition (we use it); Then, the order of memory is: a b c d e f.
It can be seen that the beginning a and the end f are suppressed in only one direction, while the middle parts b, c, d and e are suppressed in two directions. The more middle parts, the stronger the inhibition. In order to reduce this inhibition, partition method can be used. That is to say, the order of memory is interrupted, and non-memory activities are inserted, which increases the beginning and end, decreases the middle part, and greatly weakens the inhibition.
Someone did an experiment, a very long material, you have to read it 68 times a day before you can recite it; But read a few paragraphs a day and read them 38 times a day, and you can recite them all. Therefore, memorizing long texts and reviewing them in stages is better than focusing on time and surprise. It is better to divide and rule and recite a little every day. In other words, learning different subjects alternately and avoiding too much single stimulation can improve the memory effect.
Exercise between classes is to interrupt a morning memory sequence and turn it into two memory sequences. Taking a nap will minimize the depression between morning and afternoon, thus restoring the energy of studying in the afternoon and evening.
How to use this feature of memory?
(1) Remember the important things at the beginning and the end. If you speak, you should tell everyone the important things in advance and emphasize them at the end.
(2) Memorizing large-length materials can be carried out in sections, so that each section has a beginning and an end, which artificially creates conditions for improving memory.
(3) Reciting several nouns or big questions at a time can change the order, change the beginning and end every time, and evenly distribute the review power.
(4) Organize the memory materials reasonably, and try to make the adjacent learning contents completely different to prevent inhibition. For example, just after learning history, don't learn Chinese to reduce the interaction between materials.
(5) Arrange the time reasonably. Get up in the morning, not affected by forward inhibition, and go to bed after studying at night, not affected by backward inhibition. These two? Prime time? Can't miss it, it can be used to remember those difficult materials. And in the long learning process, we should have a rest in the middle. The best time is 10? 15 minutes, thus increasing the starting and ending times.
In short, making full use of the beginning and the end will enable you to achieve remarkable memory effects at the same time and with the same energy.
Has anyone ever introduced Mr. Feng Zikai? Read it 22 times . These twenty-two times were not completed at one time, but in four days. Read it ten times on the first day, five times on the second and third days, and twice on the fourth day. This is the distributed memory method. This method is labor-saving and scientific. Psychologist Shardakov once did such a test: two groups of students were asked to memorize the same poem separately. One group adopts the method of centralized memory (that is, focusing on learning the memorized materials repeatedly for a period of time until memorizing them), while the other group adopts the method of decentralized memory (reciting them only once a day for three days, and finally memorizing them). The test results show that distributed memory is better than centralized memory. During distribution and memory, human brain nerve cells can get proper rest; On the contrary, if the same material is always repeated, monotonous stimulation will easily lead to protective inhibition of the cerebral cortex. Distributed memory means decentralized memory. The so-called dispersion is also limited, and it cannot be thought that the more dispersed the better. Materials that are too short should not distract memory. At the same time, we must master the interval. Too long an interval is easy to forget, and too short an interval is easy to be disturbed.
2, self-test memory method.
This is a way to enhance memory through self-testing.
First of all, it can help us to know ourselves accurately? Cardinality? Through regular self-tests, we can know what we have not learned well, what we have not remembered, what we have confused and what we have done wrong, and we can check and correct it immediately to avoid repeating mistakes. Secondly, it can cultivate our ability to improvise. In the examination, the examination questions often change their angles, which is quite different from the original study; At work, I often encounter some thorny problems. If you often use the self-test memory method to understand and digest what you have learned in many ways, you can be confident and not panic when you get cold feet. Even if you encounter unexpected problems, you will handle them well because you are well trained at ordinary times.
Specifically, the self-test memory method is as follows:
(1) Routine test. Time can be divided into two types: daily test and Sunday test. ① Daily test: Before going to bed at night, you should repeat or meditate on the main points of what you learned that day. ② Sunday test: On Sunday, you can ask questions from the perspective of changing the contents of the courses you have studied for a week, write them on a piece of paper and test them yourself. If you find any problems or ambiguities, solve them immediately and never delay. From the course content, it can be divided into unit test and book test. Unit test: after learning a unit, you can ask yourself what you have learned, what is the main content and what you have gained. 2 Book test: After learning a book, you can open the table of contents, recall the contents chapter by chapter, and select those important contents for self-test.
(2) Dictation self-test. The effect of memorizing written symbols is more remarkable than that of reading without writing. This is because when dictation, attention is highly concentrated and the brain is active, which will inevitably consolidate the knowledge of memory.
(3) Ask and answer questions. ? If I am a teacher, what questions do I want students to master? If I often ask myself such questions and answer them from various angles, I will get unexpected results. Because questioning and answering can further clarify the purpose of learning, enhance the interest in learning and stimulate the enthusiasm for learning. And these are all favorable factors to enhance memory.
3, the system memory method
Systematic memory method is to weave knowledge into a net according to the systematization of scientific knowledge, so that you can remember a string. We can't catch a few scattered beads in one hand. If we thread the beads with a thread, we can pull out the thread and pull up a string. So is memory. Scattered and fragmented knowledge can't be remembered much, and it won't last long. If you organize and systematize your knowledge, you will leave a deep impression on your mind. For example, when memorizing the area formulas of circle, sector and arch, we can remember them as follows: first, we should grasp the relationship between these three shapes: sector is a part of circle and arch is a part of sector, and then we should string together several formulas of graphic area. This is not difficult to remember.
To systematize knowledge, list comparison can often be used. Memory is a storehouse of wisdom, but it can't be chaotic in this storehouse. We should put all kinds of knowledge in the right place, so that we can remember it clearly and extract it conveniently. In the process of listing, you can also cultivate the ability of comparison and induction. Always sort it out in a table, and the knowledge is clear in your mind. You don't need to memorize it, but you can remember it firmly.
4. Debate the memory method.
This is a way to strengthen memory by arguing with others about memory materials.
During the argument, both sides were in a state of high tension. On the one hand, they listen to each other's opinions and analyze right and wrong; On the one hand, think positively, comment on each other's views and explain your own. In this case, the information input into the brain is easy to leave a deep impression.
Argumentation can help us check the accuracy of memory. Through argument, mistakes are exposed and corrected, thus forming correct memories. The knowledge with correct memory has also been tested and applied, consolidated and strengthened.
Arguments can also broaden both sides' horizons, broaden their thinking and inspire each other. In the debate, because of the high concentration, whether you hear new ideas or find new arguments; Whether you are refuted to pieces by the other party or praised by the other party, it is a strong stimulus and can leave a deep impression.
When using argument memory method, we should pay attention to the following points:
(1) The motive should be correct. The purpose of the argument is to identify the accuracy of knowledge, so as to deepen understanding and memory, rather than to compete for high and low, to show off, and not to be brave and hurt each other.
(2) The attitude should be correct. Keep a friendly and equal attitude when arguing, and don't get into a dead end. It is necessary to allow the other party to have wrong opinions and admit their own shortcomings. Correcting others' fallacies sincerely, bravely correcting your own mistakes, and never sticking to your own opinions.
(3) The method should be correct. Don't digress in the argument. If it is too far from the point, it is difficult to draw a correct conclusion. In an argument, we should insist on independent thinking, not follow the trend and pretend to understand.
5, understand the memory method
According to psychology, understanding is to use existing knowledge to establish logical connections between things. When reading a relaxed article, understanding is only manifested as perception, that is to say, I suddenly remember what I have mastered before, or I can immediately grasp what I need from the existing knowledge and combine it with new impressions. But when reading and learning unfamiliar and incomprehensible knowledge, we need to use knowledge to establish new logical connections. Understanding memory is based on the understanding of learning content. This kind of understanding does not mean general understanding, but mainly refers to mastering the content to be learned, especially the logical connection between the parts and the connection with previous knowledge and experience.
Understanding mnemonics is the key and foundation of memory. To understand, it is necessary to analyze and judge the content of memory. Grasp their internal logical connection and hierarchical relationship, and grasp the key points (or keywords, key sentences, paragraphs, key steps, etc. ) to express the essence of the content. This will be memorized in understanding.
6. Try to remember.
The process of perceiving things that are not in front of us but can be independently reproduced is called memory. Trying to remember is to constantly test yourself in the process of memorizing. There are many ways to test, mainly retelling and writing by yourself. For example, you can recite foreign words, you can also read English and write in Chinese, and you can also read Chinese and read English. When reciting the text, you can keep trying to recite it yourself. The back is wrong. Read it again and remember it again. It is effective to try to recall what you have learned in time.
The advantages of this method are as follows: ① You can know your memory in study in time. Every time I try to remember, I will know what I remember and what I don't remember. When reading further, you can remember with emphasis and selectivity. ② It can stimulate people's enthusiasm for learning. Try to recall, the purpose is to reproduce what you read word by word, and you can encourage yourself to read word by word, aiming at those materials that you haven't remembered yet.
Some students always read over and over again with their heads closed when they recite. This kind of boring repetitive reading often can't make the cerebral cortex in an excited state. In this way, it will inevitably reduce the memory effect. Try to remember, although it takes more effort than reading from the book, especially when you can't remember, you should use your head. Because the nerve cells in the cerebral cortex are always excited, it is easy to remember the materials you have read.
Read the materials to be memorized repeatedly, and try not to read them. Recite (or recall) once, and then read when you encounter difficulties. This mnemonic method of trying to recite by using feedback effect is called trying to recite mnemonics.
For example, after memorizing English words, you can watch English write Chinese silently, or you can watch Chinese write English silently, and then compare the answers and correct the mistakes before writing them down. Another example is reciting texts. You can try to remember it after you recite it, that is, recite it yourself. When you can't recite it, look again and remember it again. For another example, when memorizing a complex mathematical theorem proof, you can also try to recite it with a pen after understanding it. When you can't prove it, just read the book and remember it again.
Experiments show that letting the memorizer know his memory effect, that is, giving information feedback, can often improve the memory effect. The following psychological experiments can illustrate this problem:
The subjects were divided into group A and group B. The examiner asked the students in group A to read a text four times in a row. Let the students in Group B read the same text once, try to recite it again, watch it again and try to recite it again. Results After one hour, Group A only remembered 52.5%. Group B remembered 75.5%; A day later, Group A only remembered 30%, while Group B remembered 72.5%. 10 days later, Group A only remembered 25%, while Group B still remembered 57.5%.
Every time I tried to recite it, I gave a feedback of the memory information. Why can trying to remember by using feedback effect improve the memory effect? This is because feedback improves the consciousness and initiative of memory. A piece of material has been recited several times, but some parts have been recited, some parts have not been recited, or mistakes have been made. Feedback information can tell you which parts have been memorized and which parts need to be processed, and help you understand the progress and difficulties of memory. Then, you can focus on the difficult parts. Secondly, feedback can enhance the self-confidence of memory, thus adding strength to memory. If you read a difficult material or a long material several times, you will find that you have memorized most of it, which will greatly stimulate your learning motivation and the joy of success, and complete the remaining memory tasks with confidence. Of course, after reciting it several times, you will find that you haven't remembered it yet, and you will be annoyed. At this time, you should know that irritability will interfere with memory and affect the memory effect. ? The best way is to control your emotions, calm yourself down, trust your memory, or think like this: this material is difficult, and you have to remember it several times. ? Secondly, feedback can eliminate fatigue and keep concentration in a certain program. Boring reading over and over again, this boring repetitive reading is easy to produce fatigue, and attention is easy to be distracted over time. If information about memory is fed back to you from time to time in the process of memory, it will undoubtedly eliminate some fatigue, or delay the occurrence of fatigue, and at the same time let your attention focus on memory. Therefore, instead of reading, watching and writing repeatedly, it is better to try to recite the mnemonic method.
7. Comparative memory method.
This is a method to compare and analyze similar but different memory materials and find out their similarities and differences for memory.
Comparison is an important means for people to understand the objective world. Only by comparison can we tell. Without comparison, it is difficult for us to distinguish the characteristics and essence of things, and it is also difficult to understand the connections and similarities and differences between things. The important role of comparison is mainly manifested in three aspects:
(1) comprehensive learning materials. Comparative reading of similar materials will obviously receive a comprehensive understanding of materials and conduct? Stereo? The function of memory.
(2) accurate memory materials. The accuracy of memory is directly related to the initial memory. If the information input to the brain is wrong, then the extraction must be inaccurate. Contrast is the key to accurate memory.
(3) In-depth memory of materials. Many back materials have similarities and differences, so it is difficult to distinguish them. When memorizing a certain material, if you look for similar materials to read for reference and compare them slightly, your respective characteristics will be prominent and your impression will be profound.
There are many methods of comparison, mainly including opposition comparison, comparative comparison, sequential comparison and similar comparison. Comparison has two basic principles:
First, seek common ground while reserving differences. That is, to find out the differences beyond the similarities of memory materials. When comparing, don't stop at understanding the surface phenomena of materials, but focus on the comparison of their essential attributes and grasp the subtle features for memory.
Second, seek common ground while reserving differences, that is, try to find out their similarities or similarities in addition to the differences in rote learning materials. Things in the world are very complicated. Although the superficial phenomena are very different, they are often similar or identical in essence. If we can find them, we will remember them more firmly.
Strengthening the training methods of memorizing poker practice;
Practice playing card memory, especially memorizing a deck of cards repeatedly, and try to shorten the time of memorizing a deck of cards. Further, you can remember several decks and dozens of decks.
Memory training methods of world memory masters
Number exercise:
Practice memorizing 100 or even hundreds of irregular numbers, so that you can memorize them quickly and recite them backwards.
Memory training methods of world memory masters
Vocabulary practice:
Find dozens of groups of irregular Chinese words and try to remember them in the shortest possible time. For English words, you should always practice reciting English words.
Memory training methods of world memory masters
Sentence practice:
To practice reciting several or even dozens of sentences, you need to recite one word at a time.
Memory training methods of world memory masters
Article practice:
Article practice is an extension of sentence practice. We often find some long articles to recite, and even try to recite the whole book, such as Tao Te Ching.
Through these exercises, we can effectively train two basic abilities of quick memory: associative ability and coding ability. When the associative ability and coding ability are effectively improved, then our memory will have a real leap!
Among these five memory exercises, number exercise and poker exercise are the most basic, because through these two exercises, we can deeply understand two basic methods of fast memory: association and coding.
Other exercises can be selected according to everyone's different needs for memory use. Generally speaking, people who often need to cope with exams should practice vocabulary and sentences, while those who want to learn English should undoubtedly practice words well.
These five memory training methods are relatively simple, and you can do them anytime and anywhere if you want.
But the focus of memory training is perseverance, which requires us to spend some time practicing these exercises frequently, especially after we have just mastered the naming and positioning methods. If we don't practice them, these methods will soon be wasted because they cannot be applied.
However, to the surprise of many people, this memory training system actually doesn't need much time to practice. As long as you spend a little time practicing every day, it won't take long to feel the rapid improvement of your memory.
In fact, if anyone can spare an hour to practice for a month every day, then after one month, his memory will have a qualitative leap, he can easily remember a deck of playing cards or the number 100 in a few minutes, and he can recite it backwards.
Of course, it doesn't really matter whether you can remember playing cards or numbers. The important thing is that when you can do this, it means that you have mastered the two world-class memory methods of naming and positioning, and you will feel relaxed when you want to remember any information.
When we do these memory training, the biggest gain is of course the rapid improvement of memory. However, our gains are not limited to the improvement of memory.
In fact, these memory training can greatly improve our four very important learning abilities at the same time:
First, note:
The training of memory requires us to concentrate, and at the same time, our attention will naturally be highly concentrated during training. Over time, our attention has been greatly exercised, and we will feel that our attention has been greatly improved no matter what we do.
Second, observation:
Memory training requires us to constantly look for many places, which requires us to pay attention to the surrounding environment and observe the surrounding objects, so that our observation will naturally be improved.
Third, imagination:
The effect of memory often depends on the vividness of imagination. When our practice becomes more and more proficient, our imagination will become more vivid and realistic, and the potential of our right brain will be really mobilized.
Fourth, creativity:
Vivid and exaggerated imagination requires us to have flexible creativity. At the same time, the extensive use of these methods to remember will force us to imagine more and more creatively, so that our creativity has also been greatly exercised.
Of course, this memory training system of the world memory master can not only help us improve our memory, attention, observation, imagination and creativity, but also help us improve our learning ability quickly. And with the improvement of these abilities, we will find ourselves thinking more clearly in our study, and we will be handy no matter what we learn.
