First of all, there are many tricks you can use to help your brain to remember every piece of information. Here are a few tricks you can try:-
First of all try to understand the lesson first: – whenever you try to learn anything new try to understand all the information given if you don’t understand the material, spend more time understanding it before trying to memorize it in your brain
Link It: – connect the material to something that you already know because if you connect your material to another it is easy to remember the material that is connected to another concept. If you can’t think of a way to connect your material to any other known material, try to make a new crazy connection for your material, for example, the boiling point of milk is 91 Fahrenheit and 91 happens to be the first 2 digits of your father’s mobile number. Try to link these two. I know it’s a crazy link but it can help you to memorize that information easily.
Talk to yourself: – It seems strange but you have to do it because talking to yourself about the material you’re trying to learn can be an effective learning tool and try to speak loud instead of simply rereading that material in your mind.
Writing it out:- Writing the material many times helps us more deeply encode information in our mind that we’re trying to learn because scientific studies prove that there is a direct connection between our hands and the brain. Try writing your notes by hand during a lecture or rewriting notes by hand after a lecture as much as you can. If you want to remember that lecture or material try to say the information loudly and visualize the concept as well.
Sleep on it:-scientific studies show that our brain processes and stores information while you sleep. So try to revise the information just before you go to sleep and see if it helps us to remember the information in your memory
Exercise: – Ya that’s true. Studies show that exercise can improve our learning and memory capabilities. Cardio and weight training both have a powerful impact on our minds. So we have to exercise for ourselves
Creating meaningful groups:- A good strategy for memorizing is to create meaningful groups that simplify your information so we can easily remember this information in our mind. For example, let’s say you want to remember the 4 trees’ names in your backyard: Tokyo, Denver, Berlin, and Oslo. These names are all used in the money heist web series so you have to just connect these names to that series. Now you have to just remember that series name and the names of the trees will be easy to recall at that time.
Spatial And visual techniques
Spatial and visual techniques are a memory that tricks our five senses. They utilize songs, images, feelings, and our bodies to help information stick to our minds. Human beings have outstanding Spatial and visual techniques. When you use your visual And Spatial techniques you use your creative, funny memories rather than rote or boring memories. This makes it easier to see, hear or feel the things you want to remember
There is a good example of easy visual-spatial techniques to help you to remember that is the common practice of using your knuckles to remember the number of days in each month.
The five senses: – use as many senses as possible when studying because it helps to use more parts of our brain and retain the information better. For example, if you were studying for a biology exam, pick up any biology modules, feel each part, and say their names loudly to remember.
Songs and jingles: – songs and jingles take much of our brain’s right hemisphere and can help us remember tricky things easily like listing or math equations.
Memorable visual images: – next time you try to remember anything, try to make a memorable visual image to represent that information. Images play a very good role to remember our thing because they directly connect to your brain’s visuospatial centers. Images help us to remember any difficult concept by tapping into that visual areas, the more you use your five senses you can use the easier it will be for you to recall your information
Final Thoughts
These techniques can feel strange sometimes but when you start doing them regularly, the easier or more natural it becomes and the more information you can remember. Also, remember one thing: you don’t have to do all the exercises mentioned in it. Start experimenting with yourself and see which ones work for you
