How to train and improve memory? Important methods

We all know that only with a good memory can we learn better and remember things faster, which can also be of great help to learning. However, when studying, many people feel that their memory is not very good, so how can we improve their memory? In fact, this can be done through training, so the following will introduce to you how to improve memory training.

1. Alternating memory method.

Also known as the distributed memory method, it emphasizes the head-to-tail memory method. This is a method of allocating time and memorizing materials of different nature alternately. Simply memorizing the knowledge of a subject for a long time is not effective, because materials with the same properties stimulate the brain nerves too monotonously. Over time, the corresponding area of ​​the brain is overburdened and easily fatigued, and will change from an excited state to a protective inhibition state, manifested as dizziness, brain swelling, and inattention, which is not conducive to memory.

2. Self-test memory method

First of all, it can help us understand our own "baseline." Through regular self-tests, we can know what knowledge we have not learned well, what has not been remembered, what is easy to confuse, and what contains errors. We can also verify and correct them immediately to avoid making the same mistake again. Secondly, it can cultivate our ability to adapt to changing circumstances. In exams, questions often change their angles and are very different from what you originally learned; at work, you often encounter difficult problems of one kind or another. If you frequently use the self-test memory method and understand and digest the knowledge you have learned from multiple aspects, you will be able to be confident and calm when faced with a problem. Even if you encounter unexpected problems, you will be able to handle them well due to your usual training.

3. Systematic Memory Method

The systematic memory method is to organize the knowledge according to the systematic nature of scientific knowledge and weave it into a network, so that what you remember is a string. We can only hold a few scattered beads in one hand, but if we string the beads together with a thread, we can pull up a whole string by pulling up the thread end. The same is true for memory. Scattered, fragmentary knowledge cannot be remembered much and cannot be retained for long. When knowledge is organized and systematized, it will leave a deep impression in the brain.
