If you fully understand the learning materials, you can remember them quickly and effectively.

Ebbinghaus, a famous German psychologist, did a memory experiment: it takes 12 meaningless syllables to remember 16.5 times; And recite 6 poems, ***480 syllables, and you can remember them as long as you recite them 8 times. This shows that it is not difficult to remember the learning material if you fully understand it. Rote memorization, although it can be remembered, is not effective. If you understand the knowledge you need to remember, it will be faster and more effective. If you understand the knowledge you need to remember, you can remember it faster and more effectively.

2. Multiple sensory participation

With your eyes, ears and hands, you can remember 80%.

Psychological research shows that after three days, you can remember 10% of a material with your ears. Look at the current material with your eyes, and you can remember 20% of the content after 3 days; If you listen to a piece of material with your ears and eyes, you can remember 65% after 3 days; If you use your eyes, ears and hands, you can remember 80%. It can be seen that the cooperation of multiple senses is conducive to improving memory efficiency. Therefore, when reciting, let the eyes, ears, mouth and hands move, which can often achieve twice the result with half the effort.

Step 3 strengthen memory

The longer the memory time, the better the memory effect.

Gatz, a scholar who studies learning psychology and memory, did an experiment: subjects were asked to write 16 meaningless English letters in four ways within 9 minutes. The first method is to read all the time; The second method is to spend three-fifths of the time reading and two-fifths of the time remembering; The third method is to spend two-fifths of the time reading and three-fifths of the time memorizing; The last method is to spend one-fifth of the time reading and four-fifths of the time memorizing. The experimental results show that the memory of the first method is about 35%, while the memory of the fourth method is the highest, which is 74%. Therefore, relatively speaking, the longer the memory time, the better the memory effect.

Step 4 try to recite

Reciting can make the brain in a positive and tense state and greatly enhance the memory effect.

Psychological research shows that people can only concentrate 10- 15 minutes unless they are particularly interested in something. If you just read repeatedly, your brain's attention will shift, making conscious memory become unconscious memory; If you try to recite, you can keep your brain in a positive and tense state, and the memory effect will be greatly enhanced.

Step 5 use your spare time

You can accomplish many things by making full use of your spare time.

Read aloud and finish reading 1500 words in 5 minutes; Silent reading, reading 3000 words in 5 minutes; Copy, 5 minutes can copy 200 words; Recite, you can remember 100 words in 5 minutes. There are many such five minutes in life. Make good use of every scattered five minutes, and you can accomplish many seemingly difficult tasks unconsciously.

Step 6 review in time

Learning new knowledge needs to be reviewed in time within 3 days, which can greatly improve the memory efficiency.

The average person can keep 44.2% of the original memory after receiving a material 1 hour; 1 day, can keep 33.7% of the original memory; 27.8% of the original memory can be maintained after 2 days; After 6 days, the content of memory decreased to 25.4%; After a few months, you can still keep 25% of your original memory. Draw this rule into a curve, which is the famous Ebbinghaus forgetting curve. From this point of view, after learning a certain knowledge, it is the fastest to forget it within 3 days, that is, it is most necessary to consolidate the memory within 3 days. Therefore, when learning new knowledge, we must review it in time within 3 days, which can greatly improve the memory efficiency.

7. associative memory

Imagination is the basis of associative memory and can effectively improve the memory effect.

Many years ago, when the news broadcast announcer broadcast, there was no guide. When broadcasting, he had to stare at the audience all the time and could not read the manuscript, so the content of the broadcast should be remembered in advance. A famous announcer used associative memory to connect the broadcast content with the objects in the hall and find out their similarities. Memory is like running water. Drawing lessons from this moderator's method, you can also give full play to your imagination and connect some knowledge with things you are familiar with, which will effectively reduce the burden of memory.
