Tips to Improve Your Memory
Pay attention in getting the information right the first time.
Make sure you understand the idea/concept.
Can you explain what you know clearly to someone else?
Use all of your senses
Draw it out
Talk it over with someone
Look for visual patterns
Rehearse it in a mirror
Eliminate Distractions
Remove sound or visual background which is unobtrusive
Have all your equip. available nearby (i.e. paper, pencil, pen)
Visualize the information you want to remember
i.e. Remember grocery list by going through the aisle of the grocery market.
Use Mnemonic devise as an organizer for new information
i.e. Every Good Boy Does Fine (EGBDF) to remember the lines of the musical staff
i.e. Roy G. Biv to remember the colors of the rainbow.
Be selective: Condense and summarize
i.e. use outlines and flashcards
Use Chunking
Clustering ideas around a heading or category will help increase your memory capacity. One item will serve as a cue to another item.
