Simply Trick To Improve Memory – It’s Easy!

Cynthia McKanzie – MessageToEagle.com – If you are a student, you know how hard it can be to remember what you have just learnt.

As we get older our memory becomes more complex, tedious, and time-consuming than ever, but younger people must struggle to remember new dates, words, mathematical formulas and other things they are leaning at school. Student often ask – how can I learn something fast?

Learning something quickly and remembering it for a long time is not the same thing. If you want to learn something on a deep level, you should try Richard Feynman’s simple technique that works well.

Scientists have also discovered there is a simple trick to boost your memory. According to a study conducted by researchers from the University of Waterloo, you are more likely to remember something if you read it out loud.

Yes, it’s easy and according to the study speaking text aloud helps to get words into long-term memory.

“When we add an active measure or a production element to a word, that word becomes more distinct in long-term memory, and hence more memorable,” said Colin M. MacLeod, a professor and chair of the Department of Psychology at Waterloo.

During the study on 95 participants, scientists tested four methods for learning written information, including reading silently, hearing someone else read, listening to a recording of oneself reading, and reading aloud in real time. The results showed clearly that the production effect of reading information aloud to yourself resulted in the best remembering.

“When we consider the practical applications of this research, I think of seniors who are advised to do puzzles and crosswords to help strengthen their memory.  This study suggests that the idea of action or activity also improves memory.  And we know that regular exercise and movement are also strong building blocks for a good memory,” said Professor MacLeod.

Another easy and effective way of improving memory is listening to music. Also, don’t underestimate the power of dark chocolate that improves memory!
