Chinese and foreign scholars have summarized several methods to improve memory. But which method is suitable for you depends on your own exploration and summary in learning practice. According to different learning contents and requirements, the correct use of different memory methods is the premise to ensure the timely completion of learning tasks and learning quality. Now, I introduce the following memory methods for students' reference to help improve their memory.
Master the key memory method. We should base ourselves on studying knowledge comprehensively and systematically, highlight key points, and grasp the "bull's nose" to achieve the effect of "pulling one hair and moving the whole body".
Mechanical memory method. Learn English words, foreign letters, element symbols, etc. This is more effective. Mechanical memory method is to consolidate and master the learning content by using simple repeated memory.
Gymnastics mnemonics. Marx has an extraordinary memory, but his extraordinary memory is not innate, which is inseparable from his habit of insisting on reciting. Since he was a teenager, he insisted on reciting poems in a foreign language he was not familiar with. Over time, his memory became stronger and stronger. Lev tolstoy called this method "memory gymnastics".
Understanding mnemonics. As the saying goes, if you want to remember, you must first understand. When reading a book or having a class, integrating theory with practice is helpful to understand scientific concepts or theorems through association and to consolidate and remember new knowledge. Someone did an experiment. It takes about 100 minutes to remember an article with100 words. If not, it will take nearly an hour or more.
Memory method covering key parts. Cover what you think is difficult to remember with paper, then read the rest, imagine what is covered, and then take off the cover paper. Repeat this several times and you will remember it.
Classified memory method. In order to master scientific knowledge systematically and firmly, various contents can be classified according to different meanings, properties, uses, structures and forms. After classification, the content is simple and clear, which reduces the memory burden, shortens the memory time and improves the learning efficiency.
Conversation memory method. When walking or chatting with classmates, you can take the difficult problems in your study as the topic of conversation. My words may solve these problems. This kind of activity can not only encourage everyone to explore and solve problems actively, but also cultivate a strong interest in learning, improve oral expression ability and enhance the friendship between students. By talking, you will make your memories that have not yet taken root and your memories that are not confident turn into definite memories, which are firmly imprinted in your mind.
Repetitive memory method. Repetition is the mother of learning, and repetition is one of the most powerful weapons in the struggle against forgetting. Psychologist Ebbinghaus's forgetting law tells us that forgetting is fast first, then slow, and then more, so we should review it in time. Ebbinghaus also told us that the degree of learning and memory should reach 150%, which will strengthen memory. This method of "over-learning" can make the learned content unforgettable for a long time. Repetition can not only repair and consolidate memory, but also deepen understanding.
Comparative memory method. Its characteristic is to review and consolidate old knowledge while learning new knowledge. That is, when learning new knowledge, we should compare and contact the old knowledge, find out the similarities and differences between the old and new knowledge and remember them. In the process of repeated comparison, the memory of old knowledge and the understanding of new knowledge deepen, and it is easy to remember after understanding.
List memory method. This method is widely used, that is, the relevant materials are classified and listed in the appropriate position in the table. Often a table is sorted out, the organization is clear, and the content is remembered. There are many types of lists, such as lists, system tables, relational tables and cross-reference tables.
General memory method. In order to facilitate memory, we should summarize what we have learned and find out its key points and main contents. This memory method can also cultivate our thinking ability and comprehensive analysis ability.
"Five Arrivals" Memory Method. In memory, eyes, ears, mouth, hands and brain are used together, which is much more efficient than a single human organ. One of the "hands" is to ask for more writing, because "a good memory is not as good as a bad pen tip", and it is much better to use both hands and brains, combine learning with thinking, and form the good habit of "not reading without moving pen and ink" than simply reading and reciting.
The above introduces some methods worth learning to improve memory. Of course, many methods can be listed, but it is not necessary and impossible to list them all. The key is to combine your own reality and have a strong thirst for knowledge, so as to explore and summarize one or several sets of scientific memory methods suitable for you and effectively improve your memory.
