Hi,
How to Improve Your Memory with Memorization Techniques
As we have become more reliant on on computers and electronic diaries, the more forgetful we have come, and most people find it difficult to remember basic things such as names and phone numbers.
If you want to start remembering things without relying on electronic devices and improve your memory, then it is possible to learn some memorization techniques. It is possible to train yourself to remember names, phone numbers and more. Memorization techniques will teach you ways of storing information so that you don't have to write things down in order to remember them.
Memorization techniques utilize methods such as thinking in pictures, repeating information and creating songs or stories about the information. There are many memorization techniques available to help you remember things, but those just mentioned are a great way to begin.
Repetition - Constantly saying the same thing again and again or jotting information down is a common way for most people. What most people don't realize is that this memorization technique isn't limited to numbers, and can actually be used for any type of information.
When meeting a new face for the first time, try repeating their name silently for a while until it is a part of your memory. This technique can help you recall almost anything, from names to birthdays. To ensure the detail/s are stored in your memory, just repeat them over and over until you're sure that they're ingrained.
Thinking In Pictures - Thinking in pictures is a great way to remember details, and it is the way that most people with photographic memories recall details. People might think of a candle to represent the number one, or when trying to remember the number five, they might think of a hand because a hand has five fingers. As a memorization technique, thinking in pictures is an effective way to remember details, and is especially useful for addresses and phone numbers.
Create A Story - Creating a story is a great memorization technique that can help you to recall difficult information. In order to remember these memorization techniques, you might imagine a man heading to the local store to pick up some bread. He replays the word bread continuously in his mind but upon reaching the store, he cannp0t recall the specific aisle to locate the bread. He shows one of the shop assistants a picture of bread, and then proceeds to tell them a story about the first loaf of bread ever made. Though this example doesn't contain any difficult information, this memorization technique can be used for difficult or hard to remember details, as it engages your brain, and therefore, your memory.
