Time is priceless and there is no room for waste.
However, because of succumbing to emotional slavery, you find various reasons to postpone what you should do again and again, trying to escape the hard work of memory. You might think like this:
? I just lack confidence. ?
? I'm so distracted. ?
? I'm a little distracted. ?
? Try to remember? Forget it, I'm a little tired. ?
? It's hard for me to concentrate on one thing for a long time. ?
? I'm always distracted. ?
? I'm just not in the mood to do it. ?
I bet your reasons are far more than that. In the long run, you will soon develop the bad habit of laziness, shrink back from the established work and keep looking for new excuses.
On the surface, you are relaxed, you can block everything, and you can indulge in fantasy all day without being pragmatic. But, have you thought about it? What consequences will this bring to you? Time flies, but you have accomplished nothing. When you suddenly look back, it's too late to regret.
Therefore, you must be soberly aware that you have stepped from the starting point and entered a new stage on the journey of improving memory efficiency. At this stage, the biggest problem you face is how to overcome your emotions and forge ahead towards the established goals. To this end, I suggest that you don't give up your efforts easily, always urge yourself and force yourself to keep your memory system in a state of high tension. Don't relax until you reach the set goal, so the effect will be better.
Someone has done such an experiment: a group of people, sitting in comfortable chairs, even leaning back, are reading there; Another group of people, sitting on a hard bench, engaged in intense calculus work. After a while, the former group soon got tired and felt like falling asleep. The other group of people, on the other hand, are absorbed and excited. Results The memory effect of the latter group was higher than that of the former group 10%.
Psychologist Kurt? Lemien summed up this situation as? Nervous? , refers to the trend of a certain behavior towards completion. At this time, people's interest is the highest. For example, when you serve a plate of food and eat it halfway, you may be full, but you still want to finish the food on the plate, otherwise, you will feel uncomfortable. For another example, when a child plays games and is in a good mood, he will ignore anyone who calls him. He is neither hungry nor tired, and will not stop until he finishes playing the game.
Similarly, at this time, people's memory function is also the most effective.
Psychologists made further experiments according to Ryan's theory. In the experiment, the subjects were asked to recite a set of words in a limited time. Halfway through the experiment, they were suddenly interrupted, given some new words and asked to remember them in a limited time. As a result, the memory effect is not good whether it is recorded first or later. On the contrary, if they are allowed to memorize a group of words continuously without interference, the result will be firm.
This experiment shows that by memorizing a group of words continuously, the subjects will devote themselves to the memory goal, so the memory effect is the best; If a new word is added in the middle, it will be interrupted? Nervous? , will inevitably affect the memory effect.
So in theory, finding excuses to relax is actually destroying the memory system at will? Nervous? As a result, time was wasted and nothing could be done. Shouldn't this arouse our vigilance?
Do you often say this:
? No, I study too hard. I need to have a rest. My mind is confused. ?
The implication is that the brain is tired and should have a rest.
This is the last excuse.
If other excuses are more or less based on a little, then this excuse can be said to be groundless.
It's just a delaying phrase invented by the shirker.
The human brain is different from muscles. Muscle tension for a long time will inevitably produce pain, while long-term mental work will not make the brain tired. If you feel a little tired after a long period of mental work, it is not brain fatigue, but some parts of your body fatigue.
Think back a little to the fatigue of the last long-term mental work fishing. Where do you feel tired first?
Eyes are most likely to get tired first, because staring at something for a long time will lead to excessive tension in the eye muscles. Secondly, the neck and back muscles will tighten quickly.
What about the brain? Have you ever noticed that when you stop working, your brain is still as fresh as when you are working?
We might as well watch an experiment.
There is a female student who is engaged in mental work 12 hours. As a result, she has always demonstrated various psychological functions, but the efficiency is slightly lower. However, the reason is not that her brain is tired, on the contrary, other parts of her body can't support it.
In this experiment, she was asked to do two four-digit multiplication at the fastest speed, one by one, and did mental arithmetic for 12 hours without rest. The experimenter always tested her speed and accuracy, and found that the efficiency did not decrease significantly. Finally, due to physical fatigue and thirst, she had to stop.
Apart from physical fatigue, generally speaking, if the job you are engaged in is difficult to do, or you are not interested in it at all, you have to do it. As a result, when you first start doing it, you will whisper: Are you going to continue or stop? Being absent-minded and careless from the beginning will cause psychological fatigue.
However, the brain will not be tired.
In addition to theoretical understanding, I would like to introduce you to a method, that is, making a study and work schedule and scientifically arranging memory time.
Daily plan
Sunday Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday
Fill in your fixed working hours at work or at home every day, and then arrange your leisure time every day.
The morning at work and the evening after work are free time. In the morning, a clear head is often the best time to remember. This has been proved by experiments and recognized by most people. ? A day's plan lies in the morning? . You should seize this favorable opportunity to memorize new content. Recitation is the beginning of memory. So-called? Memory? , including? Remember? With what? Memories Two major components. ? Remember? what's up Memories Premise, no? Memorize it? , can't have? Memories Therefore, recitation is the most important part of successful memory, and it will gradually reach its peak after waking up for a period of time. But on the whole, it is a basic fact to remember things quickly in the morning.
In the evening, active thinking is often the best time to understand. Psychological research shows that from 8 pm to 10 pm, people's cerebral cortex is in the most exciting state, their memory system is the most active, and their ability to recover information is the strongest. Take this opportunity to review what you learned in the morning and play it again and again, so that you can remember it better.
In addition, the rest is a fixed work and study time every day.
Stick to the plan every day and make full use of your time and energy, so there will be no excuses to get involved.
Many people, without making any efforts, give up on themselves and think it is difficult for them to strengthen their memory step by step. This is a kind of prejudice.
Have you ever thought that in the process of improving memory efficiency, there is an almost unconscious emotion that seriously affects your memory improvement?
This emotion, that is, prejudice, or preconceived ideas.
How do preconceptions interfere with memory?
Please look at two experiments first.
The first experiment is to recall the contents of photos. During the Anglo-French War, the experimenter showed a photo to some reserve officers who were about to go to war. In the photo, two soldiers with live ammunition are facing the camera and are fighting each other. The British soldiers held bayonets and stabbed the soldiers who rushed to the opposite side with rifles.
Look at it for a second or two, then take the photo away and let the subjects tell the content of the photo. The answer is almost the same. They all recalled that they were deeply impressed by the French soldiers who rushed in, but on the contrary, they were vaguely impressed by the British soldiers' attack. This shows that they have a certain preconceived fear of war for a long time, thus leaving a clear impression in their minds.
The second experiment is recalling speeches. The subjects are very interested in politics and have clear political views. Those who believe in the Party and those who support the Democratic Party got together to listen to the speech. The content of the speech is all about state affairs and political news. Before the speech, tell them that this is a memory experiment, and the content of the speech must be carefully memorized, but they were not prepared to ask questions at that time, but asked questions three weeks later.
The content of the speech was carefully arranged, half of which was reprimanding the main party and the other half was praising * * * and the party.
Three weeks later, the recall test showed that people who followed the party and the party firmly remembered the contents of the speech reprimanding the Democratic Party, while those who believed in the Democratic Party only remembered the contents consistent with their own views.
These two experiments are enough to explain how preconceived ideas affect the memory effect.
If what you hear or see is exactly what you expected or expected in advance, then it is easy for you to remember them; On the contrary, if you hear or see exactly what you are not interested in or even disgusted with, then it is difficult for you to remember them.
After reading this, you will realize that you always feel that you can't follow the plan, which is a preconceived idea in itself. Isn't it the biggest mistake to force yourself to admit that you are not interested or even disgusted with your plan and give up any efforts?
So you must eliminate the interference of prejudice, arrange the forgetting time scientifically according to your study plan, and stick to it.
It is indeed an effective learning method to train your memory ability according to the class schedule.
However, how much you should learn every day and how to measure the learning standards vary from person to person and from time to time.
Sometimes, you find yourself acquiring new knowledge at an extraordinary speed, and your memory efficiency is fully mobilized, as if you are working tirelessly for you. But in a flash, you will suddenly feel that the memory mechanism seems to be out of order. Even, you feel that you have returned to the original starting point.
To this end, you feel pessimistic and disappointed, and even doubt that all your efforts will come to nothing.
Of course, this is not the case.
This phenomenon is normal and short-lived, and everyone may encounter it, just like the brain is blank, and all memory energy is at rest.
I call this phenomenon. Memory death line? .
Generally speaking, no matter what you learn, the starting time and memory efficiency are always high, and it won't be long before you can initially explore some ways to master these knowledge. At this time, your memory function is like a oiled machine, running very briskly, just like an alpine skier sliding down a hillside, which is a thousand miles a day.
However, the initial knowledge is limited after all. With the broadening of knowledge, you will feel that there are too many things to remember, or examples, or words, or data, etc.
Unfortunately, just when it needed help, it slackened off. Later, it even seemed that it was completely in place and it was difficult to go any further. At this time, it has actually arrived? Death line of memory? I see. Just like alpine skiers, when they slide to the flat, the speed is bound to be slower and slower. However, the speed will not stop completely until another high slope.
Similarly, the memory function has always been there? Death line of memory? The world moves slowly until you come into contact with new learning materials and climb a new peak of knowledge. Later, you began to remember new things, and the previous subject knowledge no longer broke into the memory range.
If you are a strong man, will you face the reality philosophically, find new countermeasures and tide over the difficulties? Death line of memory? . The specific method will be discussed below.
