American scholar Harry? Laurie invented the serial memory method. For example, he said that there are 10 irrelevant things: carpets, paper, bottles, beds, fish, chairs, windows, telephones, cigarettes and nails, which can be firmly remembered in a relatively short time. It is not easy to recite one by one, but it is not easy to unfold an image in your mind. First remember the carpets you have seen, and then connect them with paper. You can imagine that carpets are made of paper. This paper was poured out of a bottle. You lie on a huge bottle and use it as a bed. At this moment, you see a fish and you go fishing. As a result, you just grabbed the chair in a fit of pique and threw it out the window. When you try to smoke, you panic and pick up a nail instead of a cigarette ... It is relatively easy to remember by connecting 10 in series.
We often have such experiences in our daily study and life. It is often difficult to remember a word, a person, a year, an event and a thing in isolation, but it is easier to remember when it is related to other related and particularly interesting things. For example, when remembering names, if you associate the name you want to remember with the name you have already remembered, or associate the name you want to remember with their occupation, appearance characteristics and the place where they first met, or connect the meanings of the names you want to remember in series to form interesting imaginary memories, you will get good results and get twice the result with half the effort.
(2) Understand the mnemonic method
In fact, the skill of memory is ultimately based on understanding. Bruner, an American educator, used three groups of children aged 12 to memorize 30 pairs of words. In this experiment, only group A is required to recite, while group B and group C are required to recite with Chinese prepositions connected with matching words. The Chinese preposition in group B is explained by the teacher, and the Chinese preposition in group C is completely studied by the students themselves, trying to find out. The result of the experiment is very surprising. When the teacher gives the first word and asks the students to think about the second word, the average answer of group A is 50%, while that of group B is as high as 95%, among which group C is better than group B. This example profoundly shows that it is much better to rely on the connection, understanding and memory of knowledge, especially through your own efforts to gain understanding and cognition of knowledge than to mechanically memorize it.
The so-called understanding is to grasp the most essential things of things and gain regular understanding. For example, it is difficult to memorize the seven numbers 78, 7 1, 64, 57, 50, 43 and 36 one by one. If you study it carefully and notice that these seven numbers are in descending order, the first number is 7 or 7 more than the last number, which is the so-called arithmetic progression, so you only need to remember the first number or the last number.
Suhomlinski, an educator in the former Soviet Union, said: "The deeper you think about the problem, the stronger your memory will be. Don't try to remember when you don't understand, it will waste time. " Understanding is to grasp the internal, essential and inevitable connection of things. To recite poetry, we must first understand the content, words and structural characteristics of poetry; For mathematical formulas, rules, theorems, inferences and laws, we must first understand their meanings and make clear their sources, derivation processes, properties and significance; Memorizing the historical age, geographical location, names, place names, house numbers and telephone numbers also requires a certain understanding. Lenovo links the memory object with other related things and grasps its characteristics and laws. In short, understanding first, then remembering, can get a good memory effect.
(3) Key memory method
The knowledge and information that a person needs to remember at the best learning age is quite complicated, but a person's time and energy are limited, and it is impossible to remember everything firmly, which requires key memory and key memory. In modern society, due to the development of science and technology, people have invented and applied many reliable memory tools and means, such as books and files, notes, audio and video recordings, computers and so on. They can record the knowledge information that people need to remember in detail and reproduce it at any time when needed. This makes people don't need to memorize all the knowledge and information they have learned word by word, but just focus on memorizing and memorizing the main points.
192 1 In the spring of, Einstein and his wife went to the United States to set up a university to raise money for Jewish youth. At that time, an American reporter came to see him and asked him many questions, such as "Do you remember the speed of sound?" "How big is the curvature of spacetime of the sun?" Wait, some simply ask him, "How do you think you can write a lot of boring content?" Einstein knew that these people were checking their memories, so he replied happily, "You asked me what the speed of sound is? It is difficult for me to answer you accurately now. I have to look it up in the dictionary before I can answer. Because I never remember what has been printed in the dictionary. My memory is used to remember things that are not in books. " Then he said, "When I was still at school, I was very dissatisfied with cramming education, such as forcing students to memorize events, names and formulas. In fact, if you want to know those things, you can just turn them over from books, and you don't need to go to any university at all. "
It is the common proposition of many scholars and scientists not to engage in all-encompassing stalking and beating, but only to pay attention to memory. Paustovsky has a famous saying: "Memory is like a mythical sieve, which sifts out garbage but leaves sand." The so-called "screening" is to distinguish between primary and secondary, distinguish between key and difficult points, remember the main, remember the important, and don't take the time to remember the secondary and unimportant.
These three methods require you to have certain thinking ability, imagination and analytical ability, and they are advanced forms of memory. If you can actively and consciously cultivate these abilities in the process of learning, you will remember them quickly.
