April 2023: For Memory Enhancement
If you have a weak memory, you won't be trusted in society, and you won't have confidence. Forgetfulness can cause problems in daily life.
If possible, you would like to improve your recording ability. You want to be trusted in society, and want to be confident. You want to eliminate troubles caused by forgetfulness.
Memory can be improved with training. Conversely, if you spend your days lazily and don't train your brain, your memory will gradually decline.
Some people say that memory declines with age, but that is not always the case. Some people are young and have a weak memory, and some are old and have a good memory. Some people have succeeded in improving their memory even after they are old.
So how can we improve our memory? What should you do to improve my memory?
It is said that humans have short-term memory and long-term memory. There is also a theory that there is a medium-term memory between the short-term and the long-term. Short-term memory is the memory that disappears in a short time, medium-term memory is the memory that lasts longer than the short-term but is eventually forgotten, and long-term memory is the memory that lasts forever.
In order to improve memory, it is effective to transfer the contents of short-term memory to medium-term memory, and transfer the contents of medium-term memory to long-term memory. For example, review new things and what you have learned on the same day. Check your memory the next day and review it again. After another week, check to see if you have remembered and review for the third time. By doing such methods like above. You can transfer what you have learned from short-term memory to medium-term memory, and from middle-term memory to long-term memory, by practicing three times that are on the day, the next day, and one week later.
Reading a book is also a good idea. Read it out loud if you can. Writing by hand is also effective. Speaking out or using your hands to write letters helps to activate your brain. Due to the spread of mobile phones and the rise in popularity of video sites, it is said that modern people do not read or write letters. Make a habit of reading and writing letters to activate your brain.
Also, explaining what you have learned to others is said to be effective for improving memory. In order to explain what you have learned to others, you need to reorganize it in your own head and re-understand it. The exercise will help improve your memory. Expressing what you have learned will make your memory more solid.
Memory is an important ability for humans. Improve your memory and make your life richer.
