When using this method, do not care whether the image will move, to let the nature of the still life all move, such as remember "volcano, table, black carbon" three words, you can imagine the flames of the volcano fly over, burning the table, the table into black carbon and Remember "stars, cars, high-rise" three words, you can imagine the stars on a car, driving a car to high-rise.
It makes an impression on the brain. The use of dynamic method should be noted that all can move the action, it is best to use the normal, otherwise easy to confuse. Attention should also be paid to the combination of movement and static, tension, and relaxation moderate. For example, remember "earthworm, telephone, noodles" three words, you can imagine earthworms from the telephone receiver into, and from the phone, receiver to squeeze out noodles. Imagine earthworms moving, noodles moving, the phone does not move. In this way, the brain can receive information in order to avoid monotonous feeling. Otherwise, all move but affect the effect.
Substitution
Substitution is the way in which something A replaces something B. Association between things is a very important part of the memory process. If you make something A part of something B or something B part of something B, the effect is quite good. If you remember the three words "ball, train and Abacus" , you can imagine that the ball replaced the wheels of the train which was running on the abacus-like track and to remember the three words "Bean, flute and White Rice" You can imagine putting broad beans as bullets into a flute and blowing out grains of white rice from the flute. That way, it stays with you forever.
It should be noted that the substitution of A and B is conditional, and the two should be similar in shape, nature, and so on. Such as the ball can replace the train wheel, but the use of television instead of the wheel is not appropriate, easy to forget.
Hyperbole
Hyperbole is the imaginative way of making something larger to smaller and smaller to larger. This approach is similar to rhetorical hyperbole, which is like looking at something from a distance. If you want to remember the three words "watch, cucumber, and clay slide," you can imagine the watch hanging on the cucumber and sliding down the clay slide. If you want to remember the three words "Eraser, flashlight, lightning," you can imagine the Eraser as big as a battery and put it in the flashlight When you hit the switch and then as the lightning comes out of the flashlight.
The use of hyperbole should be careful not to confuse the original form, but to highlight its characteristics. You can imagine a steamed bread as a mountain, but the mountain cannot be a strange stone-lined appearance but must maintain the shape of the steamed bread. At the same time, the use of exaggerated words with the words after the best, so more conducive to memory.
Combination Method
The method of combination is an imaginative way of making things. A and B organically or mysteriously hand over or combine together. When the two pieces of information are fantastically imagined, the images in the brain can be various, such as memorizing the words "cow" and "car" there is need not to mention that the shapes and colors of the cows are very different. The automobile presses the cow, the automobile pulls the cow to run and so on, but if the association stands side by side for the cow and the automobile, the effect is not good.
The combination method is to break down the singleness of two information objects and make them combine with each other. For example, the cow driving the car, the cow head from the car window out of the object combination is very good. Of course, you also need to look at what the contextual information is in order to be closely integrated with it. These are the basic ways in which imagination can be applied to memory. It is necessary to be flexible in the use of these methods. Two or three methods can be combined and used at will to form clear images and leave a deep impression.
A river divides two places how can we cross from this shore to the other shore? Often connected by a bridge. In order to have a good memory effect, we must build a bridge between the memory content and the memory result. In other words, we should use our imagination and association in the process of memory. What on Earth can serve as the bridge of association with the other side of memory interface? That is, what makes association and Memory Cross paths? The answer to this question can be found in three basic associations.
The first law is "similar or similar law," which means that other impressions similar to certain aspects are easy to remember. In other words, two similar things are easily connected by association. Think of the Sun and the Moon, the rivers and the oceans, the volts and the voltages that enter your memory at the same time.
The second law is the "law of relativity," which refers to two relative concepts, one of which presupposes the existence of the other. Thus, it is easy for one to think of the other, such as "black and white," "right and wrong" and "up and down,” in which "black" and "white,” "yes" and "No,” "up" and "down."
The third is the law of proximity or connection. It means that two things in time, place, or meaning have the impression of continuous occurrence or existence, so it is easy to associate one with the other. For example, "Newton" and "three major principles of mechanics," "father," and "son," and so on.
The above-mentioned laws of similarity, proximity, and connection or proximity all belong to the law in a sense, that is, the most direct and fundamental law. In addition, there is a second level of extension of the law, such as "new law," "law of repetition," and "law of interest," and so on.
"Recent" refers to the fact that the most recent association is more impressive than the older association. "Repetition" refers to the fact that the more recollections are repeated, the stronger the memory will be. This is mainly shown in reciting the text or memorizing English words.
Association - The Building Block of Memory Training
Association is the activity, expansion, and rational organization of our thinking. For example, when we were children learning geography, we must have heard our teacher say that the map of Australia was like a horseshoe, so we associate the shape of the map with the shape of a horseshoe Every time we saw that map we knew it was Australia. Nicknames are clues to associations, and it's easy to think of characters through the meanings of nicknames.
The foundation of all memory is the bridge of association between "concept" and "experience." In addition to paying attention to the purpose, concept, and attention of Memory, the association is indispensable. In fact, association and goal, concept, and so on are all interrelated and complement each other. As long as one concept can be associated with other concepts in many ways, it can enhance the effect of memory.
"Association" is actually a kind of thought creation. How to make effective associations depends on how much we work our thinking machines, how much we imagine, how well we relate what we learn to things in our daily lives.
The atoms in a chemical unit are so small that they have to be magnified thousands or tens of thousands of times to be visible. So how do scientists know the arrangement and structure of atoms? The answer is "entirely by Association." They imagine the atoms as ping-pong balls, and according to scientific principles draw their arrangement diagram and structure Diagram, then show us in front of the picture vividly.
It can be said that all physicists, chemists, astronomers and other scientists, are experts in association because, without Rich Association, they would not be able to remember the vast amount of scientific knowledge Or Science Fiction or science.
Astronomical Charts, for example, divide the scattered stars in the sky into constellations and make each constellation as much like a person, animal or other objects as possible, such as a spoon, a fairy, a polar bear, etc. That's good. That's better. If you think of Big Dipper, Andromeda, Orion, and other large galaxies today, you might immediately think of their location and form. However, can you tell what "M30", "M33" and their shape and where they are present ? Although the latter cannot use associative memory, astronomers have given the Nebula a number of names, such as the Ma Nebula, the Rose Nebula, the Dumbbell
Nebula, so that we can vividly and accurately remember them.
This shows that the association for memory and learning is huge!
Before knowing in detail about Association and other memory techniques, we will learn about a famous method used by Greek Ancient Philosophers to remember knowledge called "Method of Loci."
Method of Loci
Below we will explain in detailed steps about how to use the method of Loci.
1) Find a familiar place you have fond memories of. Like your bedroom or office. Ancient people used to use their rooms in the method of Loci according to records.
2) Now start watching your room and find things that are in your room with detailed focus.
3) Start walking from the first room, touching the things and associating the things with the information you want to remember.
4) Remember that Associations should be weird in a manner that the mental image your form will never erase from your mind.
This is the exact method Greeks used to remember speeches. Although Method of Loci has now evolved into Association and other memory training methods. Now, we will continue exploring the world of association.
Why Association Works?
Association can be an effective means of memory activity, but sometimes it is inevitable to encounter how also cannot associate the situation. What to do at this time? In response, it is best to create a context, or an environment, for what is being remembered. For example, if you're thinking about a poem and you can't remember it for a while, then you go back to another line from the same poem and use that line to recall the desired line. The same goes for remembering someone else's name. Think of a relationship, or a breakup, and think of the possibility that his or her name might just pop into your head.
Remember English words in the same way; you can use its source or contain allusions to deepen memory. For example, if you know the funny stories of "Uncle Sam" and "John Bull," you will remember that "Uncle Sam" stands for the United States and "John Bull" stands for the United Kingdom, both of which are informal and funny. If you know the Etymology of the phrase, you will be able to remember its meaning and use it flexibly.
If you think about it a few times and can't remember it, then put it aside for a while and don't think about it. Because during that time, even if you don't stop to think about it, your brain is actually still working in a state of excitement, and when it is stimulated by a certain message, that thing appears immediately.
Associative memory is to use the connection between the object and the objective reality, the connection between the known and the unknown, and the connection between the internal parts of the material to remember. This kind of method needs to have a rich association and needs to be practiced frequently.
Here are some practical examples of associative memory that you can use to practice your associative skills.
(1) memorizing number axes and related concepts by association
(2) remembering historical dates and events by association
(3) remembering place names by association
There is a very simple truth that I believe we all know, that is, must first have a deposit to withdraw money. Memory is like taking money out of the bank. You have to complete the input process before you can reproduce the information or impression. There is a question of how much you save, which is what you remember and how much you really remember or remember, which depends on the observation of memory!
Observation is a kind of solid cognitive ability in perceptual activities. People's understanding of the objective world starts from observation; however, we are often deceived by the appearance of life, not seriously comprehensive and profound observation.
Different people observe the same thing, as a result of different angle or attitude, the attitude of memory will be different. According to philosophy, there are no two things that are exactly the same, so the way in which one looks at the same thing, the way in which one looks at it, the way in which one looks at it, also varies in depth, in other words, in the effect of memory.
When we learn English words, we always remember them over and over again. So, to remember, carefully observe what characteristics are there in the word, according to its characteristics of memory. Although it is long, it is easy to remember. There are many more examples.
When we are learning, no matter what effect our memory will have in the end, we must make a careful observation, that is to say, a purposeful and careful investigation and observation of the things involved in learning and Research. This is the only way to create a deep impression in your mind. The prerequisite for careful observation is that there must be a strong sense of purpose.
Observe with a clear purpose. When we observe something, it is often because everyone has a different outlook on the world, outlook on life, and way of thinking. Everyone has a different attitude and method of observation and focuses on it. This makes a difference in the outcome of the final memory. This is also why the testimony of different witnesses in the same court case varies, as shown in the following experiment.
Thus, even so-called biased "factual" descriptions contain many elements of untruth, because they have no notion of memory, and because observations begin suddenly, memory works differently. In this regard, it is not difficult to understand why the testimony of different witnesses will be different and mixed with incorrect and non-objective elements; the reason is because of the observation of different attitudes and different angles caused. We can observe objective phenomena only when we establish the correct observation concept.
Different witnesses at the moment of the crime did not carefully observe the consciousness, and to testify to the court has forgotten a lot, so with their own reasoning and imagination naturally makes the testimony reasonable. It can be seen as mixed with subjective factors. In addition, the description of the plot can enhance our powers of observation.
If we can often describe the circumstances we encounter, then we will exercise our powers of observation in the process of description, which includes a verbal description and a written description. Exercise the ability to describe the plot in various ways, such as after watching a movie, try to record what you see, with their own language to describe the scene. Visit a historical site, the beautiful scenery along the way in mind and try to tell people. This allows you to test whether you can accurately record the most important parts of the training to exercise their observation to a certain extent, and this kind of training can be called "descriptive" training. For better training, it's important to keep an eye out for people, such as people you meet every day, and when you meet someone special, paint a mental picture of that person.
Furthermore, when we visit an ancient site, we should not only pay attention to the number of tourists but also pay attention to the landscape, architectural layout, modeling features, and artificial and natural collocation. After a period of training, the ability to observe will become detailed and comprehensive. Through descriptive training, we can improve the ability to describe the appearance of things and can explore, in-depth its, causes, results, and history.
This kind of training requires the participation of abstract thinking, which is more difficult than descriptive training and can be called "interpretive" observation training. For example, on the basis of careful observation of places of interest and natural scenery, we can, by visiting or reading, pay attention to the poems, songs and rhapsodies about the historic site, and learn more about the impression of the historic site in people's minds for hundreds or even thousands of years , So that their own monuments are no longer limited to the level of sightseeing but in the observation of a more profound and comprehensive understanding.
Use Association to Remember Names and Other Examples
With this training, you can develop the habit of taking a deep look at everything. In this way, you can find many opportunities buried in your life. Observation should also stress rules and regulations, according to a certain order, do not randomly look around to see.
<
br /> First, let's talk about the observations you make when meeting a guest for the first time. Here's a reasonable order of observation:
1. Listen carefully to the names of others.
2. Observe the facial features. Whether it's a hooked nose or a flat nose; whether it's a thick lip or a thin lip; whether it's a double eyelid or a single eyelid.
3. Whether his name can be associated with other things.
If you can observe him several times in this order, you will find his name and appearance much easier to remember. Of course, when observing others to be polite, do not let others feel unnatural, to be quiet quietly.
It may be hard to get used to this at first, but over time you'll get used to it. The reason why writers describe scenes vividly is that they observe the scenes deeply and carefully, rather than passing through them. Their observation orders from far and near, from large to small, from shallow to deep, from dynamic to static.
Learning math, history, and foreign languages are all the same, but it also emphasizes the importance of having a sequence of observations before memorizing them. For example, the formula "s vt + AT2" for the average acceleration distance, how do we look at it? For this formula:
