Five Tricks to Make Your Memory Better

Remembering things, like names, dates, and other fine details is just like playing basketball. It's also a skill that can be practiced. The five memory tricks below can help train your memory.

Imagine what you want to take before you get it

There's something about walking into another room or passing through a doorway that changes our short-term memory and makes us forget what we went there for. Think about your purpose before you leave the present room, you'll increase your chances of remembering what you want.

Learn the chunking technique(組塊技術)

We can only store a limited number of things in our short-term memory-about four to seven different items. The chunking technique is helpful for us to get past this limitation: Group several items into a larger whole.

Make good use of the power of music

We forget names and numbers so easily, except our favorite songs or nursery rhymes from childhood. Music helps us memorize things well. If you want to learn a foreign language, try training with music videos with words of this language. Generally speaking, singing can help improve our brain.

Create mnemonic pegs(助記符) to remember long lists

Even without the music background, you can use rhyme and rhythm to remember things like shopping lists or lists oral the US capitals. You can build a connection between the items and the things that rhyme. For example. l is a gun(imagine le fist tem being fired from a gun), 2 is a shoe (imagine the second item inside a shoe) and so on.

Take care of your health and learn new skills

Sadly, our memory falls as we get older. Taking care of our basic health, though, can help your brain work in a proper way. That means reducing the stress in your life, exercising and staving and keeping your brain healthy too by learning new skills.
