B
Many people complain that their memory is bad, especially as they get older.
Life would be easier if we could remember things effortlessly. So how can we
improve our memory?
Many people think that repeating things is the best way to remember them. This
of course helps short-term memory (remembering a telephone number for a few
seconds, for example), but psychologists (心理学家) doubt whether it can help you
to remember things for very long. The British psychologist Ec Stanford seemed to
prove this point when he tested himself on five prayers (祈祷文) that he had read
aloud every morning for over 25 years. He found that he could remember no more
than three words of some of them! A more helpful way, especially for remembering
numbers, is grouping the information. The following numbers would be impossible
for most of us to remember: 1492178919931848. But look at them in chunks, and it
becomes much easier: 1492 1789 1993 1848.
According to experts, there are many ways of training your memory. One
method, which may be useful in learning foreign languages, is to create a picture
connected to a word you want to remember in your mind. Another method is to make
up a story that includes all the things you want to remember. In an experiment,
people were asked to remember up to 120 words using this skill; when tested
afterwards, on average, they were able to recall 90% of them!
For those studying a large amount of information, psychologists think that the
best way to remember the information is to ask yourself lots of questions as you go
along. So, for example, if you were reading about a particular disease, you would ask
yourself questions like “Do people get it from water?” or “What parts of the body
does it influence?” This is said to be far more effective than time-consuming
repeating.
