If you can't remember some knowledge points, but soon forget them, the first thing to do is not to doubt your IQ, but to doubt whether you understand them thoroughly and really master their laws. "Remember, improve the level of memory can't rely on rote learning, which requires:
First, thoroughly understand what needs to be memorized, understand its meaning, and clarify the relationship with other knowledge;
Second, look for the inherent law of knowledge;
Third, gradually remember according to the law. "
So what is a thorough understanding? The so-called thorough understanding is to be able to connect the simplest things in this knowledge with the most complicated content. Thorough understanding means understanding the process rather than remembering the result. Like Yu's article, what is the simplest thing? It's Chinese characters. What is the most complicated content? It is its writing style and artistic conception. You will have a thorough understanding of this article when you know how he wrote such a beautiful paragraph with the simplest Chinese characters and expressed such a touching artistic conception.
What is the simplest thing about general geometry? It is a point, a straight line, a parallel line, an angle and a plane. What is the most complicated? Complex solid geometry, polyhedron, cone, sphere ... If you can start with the simplest concepts such as points and straight lines, step by step deduce axioms and theorems related to triangles, theorems related to quadrangles, theorems related to circles and theorems related to solid geometry, then you will have a thorough understanding of ordinary geometry-no one who can do this step can break geometry.
Everyone must remember: if you know the connection between the simplest concept and the most complicated content in a piece of knowledge, then you have a thorough understanding of this piece of knowledge. It emphasizes the process, not the result.
When reviewing analytic geometry, you can ask yourself: "What is the simplest concept of analytic geometry?" Then ask yourself: "What parts of geometry do I find most difficult and confusing?" Then, you try to deduce the most difficult and complicated knowledge points step by step from these simplest concepts in various ways. As long as you make this process clear, then these difficulties will be thoroughly understood for you. This method is useful for any kind of conventional knowledge.
Therefore, memory =90% understanding+10% reciting. You must spend more time on understanding rather than reciting, so that learning can be efficient. Without rote memorization based on understanding, there will only be two results: one is to remember slowly and forget quickly; Second, remember quickly and forget faster.
The human brain should not compete with the computer for memory. The purpose of our memory is not to challenge our own memory, but to help us solve the problems in the college entrance examination or other practical problems. Remember what is meaningful, not what is meaningless. Don't be superstitious about some fancy memory skills. For example, it is meaningless to use "homophonic method", "graphic method" or any other method to remember dozens of digits behind pi. With this time, it is better to solve more math problems, which is more helpful to improve math scores. Really useful knowledge is regular and meaningful. Therefore,' finding the rules between knowledge and remembering according to the rules' is the most important and efficient memory method, and it is also the first principle to improve memory!
