When "Super Brain" was broadcast, I saw that those players could remember so much information in a short time, but I only thought that they were really geniuses and had a good memory. But in fact, they are just ordinary people. They can remember so much in a short time only because they have learned the mnemonic method.
Yuan Wenkui is the best among them. World memory championship champion coach, world memory master. Wang Feng, captain of Super Brain China Team, is his student. After accumulating a lot of practical experience, Yuan Wenkui published a book about memory-Memory Magician, in order to benefit more friends.
This book is a brand-new version of him after several years, and gives many effective methods for how to remember quickly and effectively.
In order to make readers better understand the mnemonic method, the author launches from five aspects; What is mnemonics? How to learn mnemonics? What are the common memory methods? How to remember subject knowledge? And how to overcome forgetting?
What is mnemonics?
Rote memorization is the first choice for most people to endorse. Although some people have heard of mnemonics, they always find them flashy and impractical. Actually, it's not. The scientific principle of mnemonics is to use the right brain. Compared with words, pictures are often more memorable. In fact, mnemonic method is to transform semantics into images to remember.
How to learn mnemonics?
Many people will be scared away by making up stories and associations. Just after they understand the memory method; Because I think it's too much trouble, I want to recite it, but you made me remember so many things that so many people can't use mnemonics at all. However, any skill is troublesome at first, and only when you are familiar with it will you feel relaxed on the surface.
When you want to learn mnemonics, try it boldly first, don't worry about making mistakes, and you must not give up halfway. In the process of learning, you should give feedback in time to see how you have finished. If there is something wrong, check the reasons and summarize the failure; On this basis, the method is adjusted and improved. Finally, step by step to achieve the goal.
What are the common memory methods?
The book lists six memory methods: image memory method, paired association method, fixed pile association method, chain story method, Song formula memory method and picture memory method. These six methods are aimed at different types of information, but the core of mnemonic method is the same; Stories connect scattered information through images and activate words.
How to remember subject knowledge?
Learning any knowledge and skills is to apply what you have learned. No matter work or study, the types of knowledge are the same, so the author uses various disciplines as demonstrations to teach readers how to use mnemonics. For example, words, the most commonly used method is chain memory, which links words with Chinese meanings through a short story or image; In this way, there is a connection between the two, whether it is follow-up memory or review, it will get twice the result with half the effort.
How to overcome forgetting?
Memories are really painful, but what is more painful is that you can't remember the key moments. In order to better fight against forgetting, we must first understand the law of forgetting, and then arrange our review according to the law.
The essence of mnemonic method is to string scattered information into a system, connect them, and then repeat the memory regularly, so that it will be firmly remembered. However, it is a bit troublesome to establish your own information base at first to facilitate future memory; Many friends have given up learning mnemonics because of this, but learning any skills is more troublesome at first.
Memory method is a skill, which can only be skillfully used by continuous practice; I just know, but I don't need it at all. Not much help.
Generally speaking, if you are really difficult to recite and can't remember, then this book is more suitable; But if you have mastered certain memory skills, then this book is of little significance to you.
