Memorizing The Learning Material

Time Management

Let’s talk about a simple exercise. Let us say you have to memorize a list of words. For instance, you have to memorize this list: a tree, truth, freedom, jigaree, a dog. It’s easy to memorize these words if you have some time, however after reading or hearing them only once, you would find out some interesting things. For instance, it’s easy to notice that it is easy to memorize the first and the last words. This actually is not some kind of coincidence. There are a number of various scientific surveys, which give evidence that human brains memorize the begging and the end of a lecture, a book easier than other parts.

It’s easy to notice that it is much easier to focus, think and memorize at the beginning of any kind of work. That’s why it’s a great idea to divide any work into parts. For instance if you have to read an article about philosophy in a day, it’s better to read it in three parts with three breaks after every part of work. That way you will have three beginnings and three endings of reading, thus you will memorize the article much easier. Also it will be easy to read the material, because you will not be as tired as you would be, if you read the article without stopping for three hours.

In conclusion, it’s always important to manage any work, so that you can work in parts. By working this way, you’ll work more efficiently and memorize any subject easier. You can manage your time by making a time table for every week day. By marking the hours during you must work, study or do something and following the time table, you will reach better results.

Importance of Imagination for Memory

I we would look to our simple exercise of memorizing a list of five words, we can easily notice that it is very easy to memorize a word jigaree. This is due to the fact, that human brains can easily memorize anything that is imaginative, colorful, impressive and interesting. Thus if you have to memorize, let us say the mentioned list, try to use your imagination. Imagine a huge yellow tree, or a animated colorful dog, a statue of liberty for freedom and so on. This way, you will be using your imagination, which will improve your memory.

Using All Your Senses to Memorize

Memory is an art. Actually there are people, who can memorize all the phone book! There are even memory championships. One of the features that every great memory expert has is being able to memorize using all of the senses.

By using all of your senses to memorize something, you can memorize any list, subject or view with ease. Now let’s get back to our exercise. It’s even easier to memorize the list, if you not only imagine the listed things but also spell them out loud, touch them if possible, smell them or imagining their smell or even the taste.

Recalling the Subject

This is another important part of memorization. It’s important to recall and review the subject as often as possible. That way the subject will be stored in the long term memory and you will memorize it for a long time. A great way to memorize any subject is reviewing it after a day of learning, then after 3 days, then after a week and finally after a month. This way you will memorize the subject in no time!
