TEN MEMORY TECHNIQUES
D Tips to enhance your
study skills.
Having an effective memory does not mean the ability to
memorize the phone book, although there are people
who can! For the student, having an effective memory
means the ability to produce the right information at the
right times. Here are some tips:
BE ORGANIZED: Information that is organized is
easier to find.
LEARN FROM THE GENERAL TO THE
SPECIFIC: Take time to understand the big picture,
the details will be easier to recall.
MAKE IT MEANINGFUL: Relate what you learn
to your own personal life. We all learn more effectively
when something has meaning to us.
CREATE ASSOCIATIONS: Create a story to go
with what you need to learn. Stories hold together
several details in one image.
BE PHYSICAL: Learning is an active process. Get
all your senses involved.
REALLY PUT SOMETHING IN YOUR
MEMORY: The major reason why people forget
something is because they never really learned it in the
first place.
VISUALIZE RELATIONSHIPS: Create pictures
about things you want to learn. Draw diagrams and
make cartoons.
REDUCE INTERFERENCE: Turn off the stereo
when you study. Stay away from the refrigerator.
TAKE A BREAK: The brain needs a rest every 40 to
50 minutes. Go for a walk. Get some fresh air.
BE AWARE OF YOUR ATTITUDE: We tend to
forget information that we find boring or contradictory
to our values. If you are experiencing difficulty, examine
how you feel about what you are learning.
