Aspects of memory

There are various aspects of memory one should be aware of. Good memory cannot be developed, but its full potential can be used by developing the right habits. Here are some right steps:

Total concentration: Concentrating on the lesson content while learning is one of the important steps. We should focus on names and numbers. Even difficult material has to be converted into easily digestible logical matter. There should be a deliberate will to remember; the approach should not be casual. In other words, you should attempt active learning.

Reviewing should not be after a long time, since the material would have faded from your memory in the meantime.

Logical organisation: Material that is logically organised clings to our memory far better than random or disjointed floating bits of information. Infuse meaning into whatever you learn. Nothing you learn should be like nonsensical syllables.

From the woods to the trees: First try to get an overall idea of the lesson before going to specific details. Sometimes this style is called the funnel method.

We go from the general to the particular. Awareness of the general concepts makes the details more meaningful and easier to remember.

Associating with known facts: With each additional bit of knowledge committed to our memory, the brain goes to a new configuration and this is a continuous process. It is wise to take new bits as additions to existing knowledge. At the recall stage, such association will help easy retrieval.

Mock teaching: If you find a particular portion of the lesson difficult to digest, imagine that you are teaching it to a student sitting before you.

Speak it out in the form of an explanation, so that the idea gets hammered into your mind. This method is more effective than just reciting it aloud, since teaching involves the explanation of the same idea in different phrases, bringing illustrations, raising questions for clarification, and so on.

Visual encoding: Those who have a special aptitude for remembering pictures or charts or graph may translate information into visual formats.
