Ten elements of memory

In order to give full play to the potential of the right brain to consolidate your brain's memory ability, you need to use the following elements to enhance the memory effect:

Take it easy

According to the research report of Georgetown University in the United States, the IQ of students studying under high pressure will drop by 13%, which will have a destructive impact on learning, thinking and memory. Stress makes the brain stupid. How does a dull mind remember and digest lessons? You must learn to relax. You know, the best learning state is "the body is completely relaxed, the mind is completely concentrated, and the brain is ready to accept new information." The more relaxed you are, the more imaginative you are. The more imaginative you are, the better your memory will be. On the other hand, the more you learn, the easier it is, and the more you can learn. Relaxation makes learning form a wonderful, beautiful and benign cycle.

2) amplification

In order to deepen your memory, you should enlarge the image in your mind as much as possible when you imagine it, so as not to be ignored by your brain because the image is too small. Enlarged images can make your eyes see subtle differences. When you are shocked, special, novel and interesting by the huge image enlarged by your brain, it means that you have made quite correct and effective imagination (enlargement), which will help to store and extract memories.

For example, when you want to remember "mouse", your imaginary mouse is not a little mouse hiding in the corner, but a big mouse standing as tall as a person. Its tail is moving, showing its white teeth and staring at you. You can even see its beard shaking. This mouse left a deep impression on you, and you will never forget it.

3)*** Feeling (Synaesthesia)

* * * Feeling is the fusion of various sensory perceptions. The five kinds of sensory perception mastered by the left brain are the body's perception system of things. We receive information through eyes, ears, tongue, nose, hands and skin, and then transmit the information to the brain for identification.

In addition to the five senses of left brain function, our right brain also has keen feelings and perceptions. Like the five senses of the left brain, the right brain has five senses of sight, hearing, taste, smell and touch, but the right brain feels through imagination rather than the five senses. Because this is a non-organ feeling, it is called "inner feeling".

In the process of enhancing brain memory, you should not only be able to see, hear, touch and taste, but also give full play to the sensitivity of your senses, and you must also give full play to all kinds of sensory abilities in the imagination function of your right brain. Although they are invisible, the perception in your brain must have a clear and strong feeling before you can understand that things really exist.

Let's take apples, roses and cakes as examples.

1, visualization of imagination

Although the apple is not in front of you, you can definitely see a big apple, bright red and light green, as big as a child's height, and you can also see the shiny colors and some spots on the apple skin. Similarly, you also saw a huge rose, with its green leaves, prickly stems and crystal dew on its petals. Naturally, you also saw a golden cake.

2. imagination is auditory

When I open my brain, my ears seem to hear myself taking a big bite of an apple and making a crisp sound. Concentrate, and you will hear the sound of rain hitting the petals, or the sound of wind blowing the petals-the smell of apples, the smell of roses, and the mouth-watering smell of freshly baked cakes floating in your nose with the wind.

Imagination is tactile.

Imagine the feeling of your hand touching the smooth skin of an apple, the feeling of your finger stroking a rose but being stabbed, and the feeling of picking up a cake that is soft and greasy.

4. Imagination is kinesthetic

Perhaps in addition to the above five senses, you can also add the feeling of displacement or empty back to make the feeling stronger.

4) color

Bright colors can deepen your memory level, impress you and make it easier to extract. Therefore, it is far more appropriate to decorate the information you want to remember with seven bright and beautiful colors of the rainbow, even gold and silver, than to use dim or monotonous and complicated colors such as black, white, flowers, gray and pink.

For example, in image association, in order to make the object clear, the color of the object should be bright first; If you want to make something strange, you must first make the color strange. It can be seen that the relationship between image association and color is also very close. If used well, the effect of associative memory will be enhanced.

Look at the object first. Image is the image of things. When people associate images, they should first visualize the images of things in their minds and imagine them hanging on the screen. Speaking of screens, people may think that the effect of color TV is much better than that of black and white TV. The most fundamental reason is color. It can be seen that color can make objects more vivid, attractive and unforgettable. Therefore, when people associate memories, they should try to paint the pictures with bright colors. The easy-to-remember "catch hook" can firmly grasp and "catch" the image and let the image gallop freely in Lenovo's free kingdom.

However, when we associate, it is not enough to be satisfied with the vividness of objects, but also to make them strange, because "strangeness is the secret of memory". Singularity has various forms, but the primary singularity of images reflected in people's minds is color. For example, when seeing Europeans and Americans, the most obvious "strangeness" is skin color, eye color and clothing color.

According to the organs that receive memory information, memory can be divided into four types: visual, auditory, sports and mixed. Most people's memories are visual. Therefore, when people associate, if the image is related to color, then you should not only make the image colorful, but also make the image strange. The so-called "strange color" means that the colors of objects and images are particularly bright and in sharp contrast, instead of all colors being mixed together without "principle". Therefore, when associating, try to describe the image with your favorite bright colors.

For example, when you remember the words tall building, flag, sunshine and big tree, you can think of it like this: a white tall building with a red flag inserted on it, and under the golden sunshine, the flagpole becomes a lush (green) tree. In this association, tall buildings, flags, sunshine and trees are artificially painted with bright colors such as white, red, gold and green, which makes the image expressed in the mind colorful. Bright colors will leave a deep impression on you, thus enhancing the memory effect.

In learning, it is not uncommon to remember with colors. For example, when reading, people are used to drawing lines on key sentences with colored pens. Someone once did an experiment. When reading a book, the first half is not marked, and the second half is marked with blue pencil and red pencil respectively, and the marking methods are different. The blue pen only draws a line under the keyword, and the red pen draws a straight line, a wavy line and so on. The experimental results show that the unmarked part is vague and can't grasp the key point when trying to recall or reread for the second time; The part marked with blue pen is more impressive than the part not marked, and the part marked with red pen has better memory effect than the part marked with blue pen. This is the result of different colors. The contrast of different colors makes the image more vivid, and the image that appears in the mind is clearer and easier to remember.

Moreover, color is also related to emotion, which is one of the factors that affect memory. When people use color memory, they should try to use your favorite color to describe the emerging images, which will help mobilize your thinking enthusiasm and enhance your memory.

5) Dynamic

Adding motion to the basic image, such as shaking, jumping, flying, rotating, vibrating, waving, rising, holding and running, will greatly improve the "joint" function of the cerebral cortex and make the plane image become a three-dimensional shadow and image immediately. These materials will be easier to remember if they have a sense of rhythm and make them feel more delicate.

6) connection

No matter which mnemonic method we teach you, you should master the laws of "the relation between unknown and known", "the relation between uncertainty and certainty" and "the relation between front and back". Only in this way can we firmly remember what we want to remember, and then remember hundreds of pieces of information to form an extraordinary memory.

7) interesting/special

This element is very important. To know what children are not easy to remember, nine times out of ten, it is because the things to remember are too boring; Sometimes, because teachers' teaching methods are very rigid, orderly and unchangeable, the original creative teaching materials become dull, which greatly reduces students' interest in learning and naturally cannot arouse their memories.

Remember, when you memorize information, your mind will be full of tension, just like a bow tightening its strings, a bullet is loaded and explosive. The image you remember comes from the imagination and creation of the right brain, which of course goes beyond the logical but rigid and boring way of thinking acceptance of the left brain. As we have explained many times, the more bizarre the imagination, the more absurd the picture, the more special the scene, the more incredible and surreal it is, the easier it is to be remembered.

For example, if you want to associate the two materials "nail" and "water cup", nothing is easier to remember than the special association of putting a nail through a cup.

8) Objects/symbols

What is emphasized here is the difference between left and right brain functions. The logical thinking controlled by the left brain is abstract conceptual thinking, and the right brain should be used for bad memory. The right brain has the function of imagination, which can imagine abstract things as a concrete object or a symbolic symbol. For example, no entry signs are used to represent "no", action movie stars are used to represent "courage" and the Statue of Liberty is used to represent "freedom". In this way, it is easy to remember by transforming abstract concepts into concrete objects.

9) Focus

An important reason for poor attention is lack of interest, fidgeting and inability to concentrate. Therefore, an important prerequisite for improving and cultivating super memory is to cultivate the ability to concentrate on the information to be memorized at present. Only when you focus on imagination, association and creation can your memory be strengthened. On the contrary, when you train a strong memory, you will become absorbed in dealing with anything and learning any subject, and there will be no distractions. Memory and linear ability complement each other.

10) Simple

Too complicated ideas can also lead to the memory of Quechua. If your thoughts are disorganized and the data in the memory filing cabinet cannot be extracted quickly, it will lead to low memory efficiency. Therefore, when you imagine what you want to remember, your mental image should be simple, clear and definite, so that your brain can clearly identify and simply remember.

What factors determine the level of memory?

1, mood

One of the best emotional lines is that people are happy &; Memory and even the whole play develop best in a harmonious atmosphere. Scientists analysis: Among many emotions, fear is the most persistent one. Presumably, people's survival instinct, adaptability and self-protection consciousness are so strong that it coincides with this statement. People often learn and grow fastest in setbacks and dangers. Then, if the baby does something wrong, is it unnecessary for us to blame or comfort them too much, let them face and experience it by themselves, clearly recognize the mistakes and problems, and be afraid of guilt and sadness, so that the memory can be deepened and stored in our minds to avoid repeating the same mistakes all the time? We can only do proper guidance, and too much "interference" will affect this rare automatic learning process, which is counterproductive.

Step 2 exercise

Life lies in exercising, using and wasting. The movement here includes the movement of the body and the brain, which is closely related to physiology and psychology. Mental health needs good physical conditions as the material basis. At the same time, the continuous training and use of memory itself will naturally improve its level, and it is said that it can further prevent brain decline and disease invasion.

3. Memory law

First of all, we should mention the memory curve, which explains the process and law of memory activity well.

Others, I think, mainly include the following.

First, the combination of work and rest

Pay attention to the rest of the memory and thinking, and relax. In addition to the most commonly used pause, it is a good way to get twice the result with half the effort by diverting attention (changing channels in your brain).

B, warm-up and consolidation

Just like fitness exercise, it needs warm-up in the early stage and consolidation of memory activities in the later stage. It will be of great benefit to do as much as possible.

C, try your best to invest

It's not just memory, it's always the more concentrated you are. Japanese scientists have done tests, and the results show that the brain is most active when discussing and reading aloud. In other words, the more sensory input, the more sensitive, active and efficient memory and whole thinking will be.

repeat

This is king, the most basic and effective method. The ancients said: review the past and learn the new. Some people also said wittily: Remember to repeat, repeat to remember.

4. Skills

There are many related memory skills in the right brain memory forum, so I won't go into details. Personal sensory skills are useful, but to use them properly in time, people don't need computers and storage devices. Don't be superstitious The most important thing is to lay a good foundation.

5. Talent

Physiologically, everyone's brain is naturally different, such as the capacity and vitality of the memory area, which are all related to heredity.
