10 ways to imporve your memory

A good memory is often seen as something that comes naturally, n a bad memory as something that cannot be changed, but actually there is alot that u can do to improve your memory.. However, it does mean taking responsibility n making an effort..Here r the experts' top tips...

1. Take an interest - make an effort

we all remember the things we r interested in n 4get the ones that bore us..This no doubt explains the reason why schoolboys remember football results effortlessly but struggle with dates from their history lesson..! Take an active interest in what u want to remember..focus on it consciously..one way to 'make' yourself more interested is to ask questions the more the better !

2. Repeat things

repeating things is the best way to remember things for a short time..e.g: remembering a phone number for a few seconds..'Chunking' or grouping numbers helps you to remember them..e.g: the following numbers would be impossible for most of us to remember: 1492178919318283..

but look at them in 'chunks' n it bcum much easier: 1492 1789 1931 8483

3. Form a mental picture

another way to make something more memorable is to think about something visual associated with it..form a mental picture..n the stranger the picture the better u wil remember it! If an English person studying Spanish wanted to remember the Spanish word for duck, 'pato', he/she could associate it with the English verb 'to pat' n imagine a picture of someone patting a duck on the head..

4. Invert a story

to remember long lists, try inventing a story which includes all the items u want to remember..

in experiments..people were asked to remember up to 120words using this technique n when they were tested afterwards..on average they could remember ninety percent of them!

5. Organise your ideas

If we organise what we know in a logical way then when we learn more about that subject we understand that better..and so add to our knowledge more easily..make well-organised notes..

be sure things r clear in your mind..if not..ask ques until u understand..!

6. Listen to Mozart

Many experts believe that listening to classical music..especially Mozart..helps people to organise their ideas more clearly n so improves their memory..sadly..rock music does not have the same effect..!

7. Take mental exercise

if u do not want to lose ur memory as u get older u need to keep ur brain fit..just like ur body: 'use it or lose it's the experts' advice..logic puzzles, crosswords n mental arithmetic r all good 'mental aerobics'..

8. Take physical exercise

physical exercise is also important for your memory..because it increases your heart rate n sends more oxygen to your brain..n that makes your memory work better..exercise also reduces stress..which is very bad for the memory..

9. Eat the right things

the old saying that 'eating fish makes u brainy' may be true after all..scientists have discovered that the fats found in fish like tuna..sardines n salmon - as well as in olive oil - help to improve the memory..vitamins C n E (found in fruits like oranges, strawberries n red grapes..) n vitamin B (found in lean meat n green vegetables) r all good 'brain food'..too..

10. Drink coffee

caffeine may not be too good for u..but like exercise, it increases your heart rate n sends more oxygen to your brain..a cup of coffee really does help u concentrate when u sit down to study..n if u don't like coffee..don't worry - experts believe that chewing gum has the same effect !
