Long-term memory is a complex and important system that stores phenomena and events throughout life. Its volume in different people can be different. To develop memory, you need to perform certain exercises.
Instruction manual
one
Repeat
Ordinary cramming trains memory perfectly - start memorizing poetry, such a text is easier to read, then move on to prose. Memorize texts sequentially - spend a few hours memorizing one passage, then do not repeat it for a couple of days. After taking a break, start repeating the first text again - you will find that you perceive the information differently, find a different meaning in the lines.
2
Repeat text out loud
It is proved that when a text is accompanied by auditory perception, it is better remembered, therefore, memorizing something, always pronounce the information out loud. It is advisable to close your eyes at this time, so you will hear the words better.
3
Learn to focus
Write a short sentence on a piece of paper, and while reading, count how many letters “o” are in it. Then turn away and try to say how many letters “in” are in the sentence. This technique trains the visual memory well, which can also be long-term.
4
Learn with associations
If you do not remember numbers well, then try to compare each of them with any object, animal or person. Do the same with the names - think, maybe a man named Gennady is tall and thin, his figure resembles the letter "g", etc. Train daily - on purpose or at random.
5
Describe the pictures
Select several reproductions and describe one of them, supplementing each time with new details and details. Gradually add external distracting factors - noise, screams, communication with another person, etc.
6
Create mental images and visualizations
Trying to remember something, try to create a complete picture in your memory - find out what is painted on the cover of a book that is in the next room, simultaneously presenting the table on which it is located, with all other items. Imagine how you enter a room, go to a table and pick up a book in your hands.
7
Make lists of necessary cases
Swap cases in the lists, ranking them by importance, route or ease of action. Leaving home, mentally say all the points, simultaneously creating associations. Check the list when you get home.
