Have you ever envied the person who never forgets a name and gets good marks easily? I bet you did. And haven't we all wished at some time we had a better memory? Well, today these wishes may come true. I' 11 show you six techniques that will give you a memory that holds tightly to names, faces, facts and figuresto almost anything you want to remember.The first technique is "association". Find links, or associations, between what you want to remember and something you know, then you*11 find memorization easier.The second technique is called "activity”. By this I mean actively doing something with the material you want to remember. Write it out, read it aloud, express it differently, challenge it, etc.The third memory-improving technique I want to mention is "being slow". Don* t hurry. Don* t merely scan or skim the material. Read it slowly or at an unhurried rate, and this facilitates memorization.There, I've told you the first three techniques: association, activity, and being slow. Any questions? If not, I' 11 go on with the rest of the techniques.Now the fourth technique is called "breaks”. Rather than long uninterrupted study sessions, you should build regular breaks into your schedule. Breaks keep concentration and energy levels high.The fifth technique is "grasping the basics". If you understand the fundamentals or basics of a subject, you can understand it better, and this wi11 help you remember related facts.The last technique in ensuring a good memory is "/interest". One tends to remember what one likes. So, find an aspect of the material that interests you, or develop your interest in the subject you want to memorize.
