Five Tricks to Improve Your Memory
Remembering things, like names, dates, and other fine details is a skill that you can sharpen .Here are five memory tricks everyone can learn.
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. If you imagine 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(shù))
We can only store a limited number of things in our short-term memory—about four to seven different items, according to most estimates. The chunking technique can help us 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 or all the US capitals. You can build a connection between the items and the things that rhyme.For example,1 is a gun (imagine the first item 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 go a long way towards optimizing(優(yōu)化) our health. That means reducing the stress in your life, exercising and staying fit, and keeping your brain healthy too by learning new skills.
Find a trick that works for you and keep using it. You can strengthen your memory.

After eating and drinking, Hands sat up and looked b 71 . We soon arrived at North Inlet. Hands was very good at guiding me in and I f 72 his instructions perfectly. We turned into the beach and came easily to rest without an anchor(錨).
