For example, to learn to identify and distinguish dogs, your brain has established a storage file about dogs. Every other kind of dog that you have to learn to recognize is also stored in a similar pattern system. The same is true for birds, horses, cars, jokes or anything else. Nowadays, many scientists believe that we store many interrelated contents in our memory, just like branches on a tree.
However, the brain is much more complicated than this. If we ask you to say what kind of apples you know, you will immediately say them according to your "apple" memory tree: red apples, yellow apples, green apples and so on. We want you to list all the fruits you know. You store apples with oranges, pears and grapes in your "fruit" memory tree.
If we ask you to name a round object, you will remember the tree including oranges according to your "round object". Therefore, your brain divides information into many different categories-just like cross-referenced books or indexes at the back of books in a library.
However, the brain is more efficient. It stores this information by making full use of connections. Everyone's brain has a connective cortex, which connects similar information according to different memory banks.
Do a simple speech experiment. Most people list speech as one of their greatest fears. Let anyone make an impromptu speech in public at once, and his first reaction must be to say nothing. Adrenaline quickly swept through brain cells, and the brain fell into primitive mode, and fear closed his memory bank. He is so scared! However, let another person start telling any joke, and everyone in the group will begin to remember a related humorous story almost immediately. Another example is that people gather around the piano at a party. When one person starts singing, others will remember the song almost immediately.
It's as if each of us has a strong ability to store information-and remember it when triggering the correct association. Actually, it's true. Surgeons will be surprised to find that patients will fully recall specific events after waking up, even going back to their childhood. Of course, this usually happens under hypnosis. Hypnotists "untie the knot of our thoughts" and help us recall the information stored for many years.
Learning classification and information may be the first step to develop your brain potential.
The first way to improve memory ability is to associate the memory content with impressive pictures and use one or more abilities of the brain.
