What is the key to improving memory? How can I remember quickly and firmly?

There are many ways and skills to remember. Here are four keys to effective memory. Using these four strategies flexibly according to the specific content can make your memory fast and firm to some extent.

1 First of all, learn to remember new knowledge points with the help of familiar content, and bring the old with the new.

There are many specific ways to try to link new knowledge with what you already know. For example, when learning and memorizing a new knowledge, try to think back and think with the idea of "this and ………"; Or tell yourself, "This is an extension of knowledge …". This way of learning can help us understand what we have learned faster, make our brains remember more information and reduce the burden of memory. Because when we recall, all we need is

2. Secondly, we should learn to connect the pieces of information to be memorized into blocks and carry out regular block memory.

A lot of scattered and single knowledge is hard to remember. However, if the knowledge is arranged and related according to a certain relationship or logic, it will form a knowledge block and a knowledge crystal. This will not only make us understand more thoroughly, but also make it easier to remember. For example, the association structure, tree structure, sequence relationship and data structure shown in the figure below.

This may seem difficult at first glance, but it is not. For example, combing a book with a familiar mind map and combing a knowledge point in the form of a knowledge frame map. Or simply organize the knowledge points into a series in the form of lines, such as "4" and so on. These seemingly simple classifications will help us better understand and remember.

3. Third, try to make the memory interesting and add vivid and interesting elements.

The more interesting things are, the easier it is for us to remember. In other words, when remembering, we should fully mobilize our imagination and make the content to be remembered vivid. For example, the easiest way to remember a string of numbers is by rote, but remembering quickly means forgetting quickly. If you code the numbers and make them come alive, you can not only remember them quickly, but also forget them easily.

There are many specific learning and training, such as the "digital coding" memory in the memory part of the speed reading memory training of Elite, which is realized through homophonic, image transformation and meaning transformation. And the location memory method of "body code and home position", which links the things to be remembered with the familiar body and room for associative memory.

4, in addition, to mobilize a variety of senses to participate in memory.

When we learn a knowledge, we usually look with our eyes or listen with our ears, but if we just stay at this stage of learning with our eyes and ears, it is basically difficult to master knowledge. So after listening or reading, we should mobilize our brains to think and organize, and then write it by hand and say it with our mouths. Eyes, ears, brain, hands and mouth should all participate in learning, so that learning efficiency will be higher and memory will be stronger.
