Accelerated Learning

by Daniel Clark

  Therefore, to avoid and prevent forgetting, we must master the review of this link. So how do you review? The scientific method should be based on the above laws, using a scientific method of circular memory. That is to say, at the very beginning of forgetting, reinforce it immediately, and keep it fresh. Because the person's forgetting rate changes with time first fast and then slow, so the review should also suit the case, and its synchronous operation, in the time interval should be short before long.

  A few seconds apart -- the first review

  A few minutes apart -- the Second Review

  A few hours apart -- the Third Review

  A day or two apart -- the Fourth Review

  Four or five days apart -- the Fifth Review

  One week apart -- Sixth Review

  One month apart -- the Seventh Review

  Loop memory method is not fixed; each person can be flexible according to their own circumstances, according to their own memory habits and rules to explore the best way for their own. The method of impression memory is to use the impression of the first perception of things to remember effectively.

  Increase Learning Efficiency by Memory Methods

  How to make full use of the memory effect of the first perception to improve learning efficiency? Here are four key points:

  (1) Close Observation

  When sending information to the brain, try to increase its intensity, paying particular attention to abstract concepts and knotty problems in the material.

  (2) Pay Close Attention

  As long as people pay close attention to the material they remember, they will have a deep memory; if they remember it carelessly, it will be difficult to remember it. Therefore, in order to get the first impression, we must start reading learning, not listening, not squint, concentrate on perception and knowledge.

  (3) Be Enthusiastic

  All can arouse people's deep interest, as well as can arouse people's warm emotion thing or material, all easy in the person's memory to mark deeply.

  For example, the first time you and a friend visited Eifel Tower in Paris, you will never forget it. Therefore, in order to get a deep first impression, should be filled with enthusiasm from the beginning, with sincere feelings and strong interest to contact the need to remember things or materials.

  (4) Salient Features

  What stands out in the same kind of things, what is new, is easy to remember. For example, the lone tree in the wilderness, the crane in the flock of chickens, and the moon in the sky are all striking targets. This is due to the memory object has novel characteristics, easy to attract people.

  Self-testing

  Self-test is to check the results through self-improvement of memory efficiency. The self-test method is effective for the memory of any learning material. Memory is not a final goal; it is just a means; the purpose of memory is to reserve the ability to recognize and solve problems. How much knowledge information has been memorized, and the degree of the reserve of ability can never be measured accurately by only a few examinations. Moreover, in school, the teacher can organize the examination is very limited.

  If we want to know the effect of memory, we should often use the self-test memory method. There are several ways to self-test memory. In terms of time schedule, there are two kinds of tests: Regular tests and Random tests.

  (1) Regular Testing

  That is, on their own courses and knowledge to determine a self-test plan, and then on time. From time can be divided into day test and Sunday test two kinds.

  Test of the day: When you go to bed at night, repeat the key points of what you have learned that day. If conditions do not allow, you can write an outline or meditate.

  Sunday test: Take a break on Sunday, you can change the content of the course of a week to ask questions, write on a piece of paper to test yourself, find the existence of problems or ambiguity, solve immediately, without delay.

  (2) Quiz at Any Time

  Test yourself anytime, anywhere. This method is most effective in learning a foreign language!

  In addition, from the way of self-test, there are four ways to try to recall, talk about arguments, ask and answer, practice test.

  Try to recall

  in mind to learn the knowledge back again, this is forced to concentrate on their own thinking method. Experiments have shown that trying to remember is better than simply repeating it.

  Talk and argue

  to argue and discuss what you have learned in order to present your own point of view and explain objective things and phenomena. In this process, will deepen the impression of both sides, correct mistakes, through talking and arguing, expand horizons, brainstorming, increase knowledge and ability.

  Ask and answer questions:

  Ask Yourself a few questions from a variety of angles, and you'll get unexpected results. This method of questioning is a major problem; we must constantly ponder the form of questioning, the angle of questioning, and the requirements of questioning, so as to be effective.

  Practice tests:

  In the actual work and life often use knowledge, memory is often more profound.

  In practice, testing and using knowledge is the best self-test. Jean-Jacques Rousseau, the great 18th-century French thinker, and writer was also self-taught. In his study, he pays great attention to link book knowledge with practical application. When he learns music, He makes music; when he learns mathematics, he measures the earth; when he learns astronomy, he observes the stars with a telescope. He also likes to travel, enjoy the beautiful natural scenery, to verify his knowledge of physical geography from books. Practice is arguably one of the most important factors in Jean-Jacques Rousseau's success.

  Advanced Strategies for Accelerated Learning

  To remember external information, you must first accept the information, and receive information "Channel" more than one; there are vision, hearing, smell, and touch, and so on. Memories that involve multiple senses are called omnidirectional Memories. This memory method is much more effective than single channel memory.

  This shows that as early as 2,000 years ago, ancient people realized that learning to read requires seeing, hearing, speaking, writing, and thinking. Modern scientific research has shown that people can remember 25% of what they see, 15% of what they hear, and 65% of what they hear when they see.

  A teacher once asked three groups of students to memorize ten drawings in three ways: for the first group, he simply told them what was on the drawing and did not show them the drawings. So, this group is just listening, not watching. The teacher showed the ten pictures to the second group of students but no longer told them what each picture was. So, this group just looks, but they don't listen. For the Third Group, the teacher explained the content of the painting and showed it to them.

  After a while, the teacher asked each of the three groups how much they remembered. The first group remembered the least, 60 percent; the second, slightly more, 70 percent; and the third, 86 percent! This suggests that students who only listened and didn't watch remembered the least, and that simply using both types of sense were better than using only one. It would be even better if all the sense were brought together.

  Omni-directional memory involves all parts of the brain, working together to receive and process information. This method is effective in the process of mastering various languages and characters. Because no matter what language, the purpose of learning is always listening, speaking, reading, and writing. These four abilities involve four different channels of information input and output. It's best to use a mnemonic.

  In order to grasp the information in a news interview, journalists often use their brains and hands, listening, speaking, and writing, in addition to recording. In daily life, to remember a relatively long speech, it is best to listen and remember, its emphasis is "eyes over a thousand times, as well as handwriting once,” in order to illustrate the importance of writing for memory.

  Therefore, when mastering various languages or recei
ving and processing speech information, we should use omnidirectional memorization method. The correct way is to listen while thinking positively, with understanding as to the first priority, and summarize the main points of the content of the received language information and in the space between their language pause, briefly remember a few words or a few words.

  To choose and choose memory material, so as to decide which to focus on memory, slightly remember which, this memory method is called selective memory. Memory materials are chosen because everyone is exposed to too much information daily. Not all of this information needs to be memorized. So, memory should be selective, remembering the most important, meaningful, and valuable material.

  Image Memory Method

  Image memory method is in memory as much as possible to pay attention to the visual image, as much as possible to use image thinking, in order to improve the effect of memory. As the saying goes, "seeing is better than hearing. " It means that what you hear is not as reliable as what you see. It also contains such a truth, that is, the intuitive image of things to give a deep impression. Why are images so easy to remember? Because people know objective things rely on sensory organs, and perception is from the intuitive image of the beginning. The memory of object image is the most primitive and primary memory, while the memory of abstract concept and system knowledge needs to be based on certain knowledge structure.

  There are several ways to do this:

  Use models

  For example, you can learn by using models, images, photos, videos, movies, television, slides, through their observation to get perceptual knowledge of things.

  Figure of speech

  Use the familiar as a metaphor for the material to be memorized. This will leave a complete and concrete image in mind, not easy to forget.

  Language description

  Abstract material can be described in visual language, that is, the so-called deep and simple, so that memory will be much faster, but also will leave a deep impression in mind.

  There are many other types of performance, such as memory hundreds, even thousands of digits, within a few seconds, can remember the order of a shuffled deck of cards. Experts can see the answer, which is a common feature and memory method, now for everyone to uncover the answer.

  Visual Memory

  Visual memory is the beginning of this kind of memory. For example, when we want to remember "computer," only to remember the word "computer" is not desirable, you must ask their own mind to emerge its original form, which can also be called floating image. The trick of image memory is to exaggerate the image of the method, if you want to remember a flower, you do not want to remember it is just a flower, but to imagine a flower bed.

  Body Memory

  When we think of memory, we naturally think of how many words or numbers we can remember, but we never remember that we have physical memory. Indeed, it sounds wonderful, but it is actually quite simple. When we lose our memory, we can still perform the actions of ordinary people. You may not have played golf for more than a decade, but your body can still "remember" the key actions They don't go away even if you don't use them for a long time.

  If you put some memory content in the body's various movements or parts, your memory will appear very magical! Even in the most complex of go or chess situations, professional players who can remember at a glance, as well as actors who can recite long lines, are unknowingly using this method.

  Illogical and absurd associations

  We can't remember the little things that are so common, but we can remember the things that are novel, outrageous, or gross and ugly with surprising accuracy. This is enough to show that this kind of absurd, associative memory is quite effective. For example, you can think of "car" and "Wood" as two very different things -- a car full of wood running fast. This makes it easy for memories to stay on the surface. It would be illogical to think of it as a speeding piece of wood with a car tire, but it would impress us.

  Again, "aircraft" and "wooden box" as an example, if you imagine a wooden box with the aircraft, it is better to imagine the aircraft out of the wooden box. Now you can try to remember other things, and you will find that this vivid and fantastic memory will greatly enhance our memory effect.

  These are the three secrets of rapid memory. It is easy to say that you can do the same thing, but in fact, they are not as easy or as difficult as you think. We are often amazed and overwhelmed by people who have what is known as a recording memory. In fact, however, it is possible to have such a skill, and you should not doubt the possibility.

  Yes, these people are amazing. They often can accurately describe a piece of art, a scene, a landscape, or a person's face after a few days. It's hard for us to imagine.

  Unfortunately, most people don't have that ability. They cannot hold an image in front of their eyes for long without it becoming blurred or faded. This is our confusion, but it should never be a reason for us to lose heart. Everyone has a photographic memory of their own -- you just have to dig it out.

  Now you can test your visual imagination. Close Your Eyes and imagine a movie screen in red, black, white, yellow, green, blue, and then white. Do you see that? Which colors do you find easy to imagine and which ones are more difficult to imagine Which colors last longer? Imagine again that there is an artist in front of you, who is holding a brush to draw on a canvas. This visualization can help you improve your memory for colors.

  Do this exercise often when you have time or want to relax. If you stick with it for a long time, you should be able to imagine colors more successfully each time. Now let that imagination of yours take flight. We start with the most beautiful, positive images possible, because, empirically, positive things are easier to remember in mind.

  You can recall a particularly beautiful scene from the past: A holiday, a beautiful scene, a scene from a movie, etc. Try as hard as you can to picture it and put yourself in it, then paint out all the details of the picture. It's very relaxing to close your eyes for a few minutes during a busy day and bring such memories to mind. It's also a great exercise to do right before you go to bed. It can help you feel calm and at ease as you fall asleep.

  This way of looking at specific details will help you retain things better in the future. It also trains our imagination and our powers of observation. Now that you've done the necessary exercises, you can begin to focus your attention on purpose. First look at something still, such as a beautiful flower pot, a window display, or a dish that is attractively arranged in a particularly artistic way. It's also important to pick a positive image and place it in your heart. Now close your eyes and try to make the image concrete and detailed on your "imaginary screen. ".

  When you open your eyes, compare what you imagine to the "original. ". Did you leave out a few details If that's the case, then you should remember the details very carefully, close your eyes, and practice again. You can be sure that you will remember more and more of the details. It's not a technique. It just takes practice.

  Of course, you don't need to set aside a special time to do this work. We can practice it in our daily study and many other parts of our lives. When you're sitting on a bus or on the subway, focus on a face you're particularly interested in and study it closely. Then close your eyes, or look out the window, and try to present the face to your eyes. Then you look at the face again to see if you're missing anything.

  After a while, you'll be surprised at how much progress you've made. At the same time, it can feel like you're starting to see the world in a totally different way, and of course, you'll suddenly notice things you've never noticed before: the teacher's special posture when she's impatient; a noticeable expression on your best friend's face. As you develop this ability, your understanding of people -- Your ability to respond quickly to subtle facial expressions -- will naturally improve.

  Finally, we introduce a method which can improve memory by a factor of two.

  * Step one, define your purpose. Before you start training to improve y
our memory, it's important to understand why you need to improve it. This is a stage before memory training.

  * The second step, make the body and mind comfortable, let already tired brain cell enlivens gradually. When the mind and body are at ease, our cerebral CORTEX quiets down, leaving us in a state where it is easy to remember information from the outside world.

  * Step three, think back to the good old days. Recall the good old patterns associated with the object of the memory to be strengthened.

  * Step four, visualize your future. That is to say, through memory, you can draw a picture of the future in your mind.

  * Step five, visualize the whole image. Think about the whole image of the object you want to remember or the problem you want to solve. You can organize and summarize what you know and what you don't.

  In teaching, teachers always emphasize the importance of keeping a happy mood while learning, and the same is true of memory, but this does not mean that the above factors are indispensable to memory Instead, they inadvertently began to be inspired by a strange phenomenon: People sometimes learn, but all day long they forget.
