Chapter 33 Ignite memory potential and become a memory genius (1)
How much has your memory potential been developed?
There is a famous memory homer in Russia who can remember what happened 15 years ago, and he can even be accurate to a certain day and a certain moment when it happened.You may say: "He is such a memory genius!" In fact, the psychologist Luria has studied him for several years and found that his brain is no different from that of a normal person. The way things are around me.

Everyone who reads this will be amazed.In fact, the human brain memory has great potential to be tapped.You, too, can be like this memory man, and it's definitely not a lie.Modern psychological research has proved that the human brain is composed of about 140 billion nerve cells, each cell has 1000-10000 million synapses, and its memory capacity can accommodate all the information received in a lifetime.Even so, at the end of a person's life, the brain still has "empty space" to remember other information.The storage capacity of a normal person's mind is 50 times that of the entire collection of the Library of Congress in the United States, and the collection of books in this library is 1000 million volumes.

Everyone has such a huge memory potential, but we mistakenly think that we are "innately deficient" all day long and sigh and complain. If you don't believe that you have such a memory potential, you can do the following experiments to prove it.

Please prepare a clock, paper, and pen, and memorize the following number (30 digits) and a series of words (according to the order of the original text) until you can remember them completely.Write down the number of repetitions and the time spent in the memorization process, etc. After 4 hours, recall and write again (note: no review of any kind can be performed before this), and then fill in the number of repetitions and the time spent this time.

[Hint: Use the homonym method to determine a code word for each number and connect them into a story.The main idea of ​​the story: You used to be very timid. After taking a kind of miraculous medicine, you recovered from your serious illness. Since then, you have become as bold as a dog. You don’t even hesitate to kill a chicken. He fell down.To celebrate, you and your dad, and a friend of yours, go to the bar.Your father drank 63 bottles of beer and came home drunk.When I left, I brought two watermelons back, but I lost them all because I was too drunk.Now, you are telling this story to your friend, you say: "A handful of miracle medicine (1871), let me kill a dwarf chicken (0534127), bar (98), Erlai (26), I Dad ate 63 beers (58766389), carried two watermelons (0278), lost (643).”]
Words: Train Yellow River Rock Shark Fin Gymnastics Surprise Coal Thatched Hut Meteor Car

[Hint: Connect 10 words with a story. When reading the story, please be sure to reflect the picture described in the story in your mind like watching a TV series.The story is as follows: A fast-moving "train" hit the "rock" when passing the "Yellow River" bridge, derailed and fell into the river. After being frightened, the "fish" in the river spread their "wings" and flew out of the water, landing on the bank one after another. Lively and vigorously, as if doing "gymnastics".People were "surprised" seeing this scene and stopped to watch.A few smart people brought "coal" and set up a stove to cook fish.When there is not enough coal, hay is pulled from the "thatched hut" to burn.Just as the fish was cooked, unexpectedly, a "shooting star" fell from the sky and hit the stove.The meteorite was as big as a hill, with a hole in it, and a "car" came out of the hole, maybe it was the Santana of aliens. ]

By comparing the effects of the two studies, it can be seen that when using the memory method in the following prompts to memorize, the time is short, the memory is accurate, and the effect is long-lasting.

In fact, many effective memory training methods are still unknown, and this book will introduce you to many effective training methods.If you can master and use one of these methods well, your memory will be strengthened, and a part of your potential will be developed to produce considerable practical effects; if you can fully master and use these training methods well, your They produce value-added effects in mutual synergy, then your memory will have amazing growth, and your nearly infinite potential will be released.Most people feel poor memory, mostly caused by improper memory methods.

Therefore, we have to trust our own brain, it is like a photographic negative, waiting for the light of information to flash; it is also like a vast ocean, accepting the "water" of memories flowing in an endless stream - there is no danger of "water" being full; it seems that there is no detonation Once the nuclear material is detonated, it will release the nuclear thermal potential that is trillion times more than other materials, allowing you to take off easily, create brilliance, and benefit mankind and yourself.

Of course, it is worth noting that although memory has great potential to be tapped, don't abuse your brain.Because the brain is a finite device—the capacity of the memory is not infinite, and the memory of a glance is very limited, and its maximum amount is only 7±2.If you overuse the brain nerve cells in some parts, over time, there will be functional impairment lesions (the main symptom is a sudden drop in efficiency), and the brain cells will continue to die in middle age and the number will continue to decrease, and their functions will also decrease. This leads to decline... Therefore, don't "piercing the bone and hanging your head" to remember information that is outdated, miscellaneous, irrelevant, loosely structured, lifeless, and can be used to help the brain remember by notes and other means.

Clarify memory intention and enhance memory effect

American psychologist William James said: "The essence of genius lies in knowing what can be ignored."

Many teenagers have the experience that reading books before asking questions in class and before exams has a better memory effect. This is mainly because they have a clear purpose of memorizing, know what they should memorize, when to memorize, and know that they must memorize.This sense of urgency that must be remembered will greatly improve memory.

Wei Yu, a former lecturer of Nanjing Institute of Technology, went to Germany for advanced studies. Relying on a little foundation of self-study German, he passed the German level in only 4 months, showing amazing memory ability.This amazing memory is related to the sense of urgency of "must remember", and this sense of urgency comes from Wei Yu's correct learning purpose and research motivation.

Wei Yu's case proves that if the task of memory is clear and the purpose is correct, various potentials can be tapped and better memory effects can be achieved.Generally speaking, the possibility of forgetting important things is relatively small, which is the reason.

Many people complain that their memory ability is too poor. In fact, this is mainly because the motivation and purpose of learning are not correct, the learning lacks strong motivation, and they are not good at setting specific learning tasks for themselves. Therefore, when learning, there is no "must" "Remember" sense of urgency, attention is not easy to concentrate, making the memory effect very poor.

On the contrary, with the understanding of "must remember", and the confidence of "must remember", the effect of memory will be good.

Based on the above reasons, young friends should put forward tasks and requirements for memorization before memorizing.For example, before reading an article, make a request to retell the story in advance; before going to the zoo, remember the shape, movement and demeanor of those animals, draw them and paste them on the wall when you come back.This mobilizes the enthusiasm for observation, attention, and memory in performing these activities.

In addition, just having a purpose is not enough. For example, many students spend a lot of time memorizing and studying before the exam, but after the exam, the knowledge he has worked hard to memorize will soon be forgotten. Therefore, the purpose proposed when memorizing should be long-term, Meaningful, valuable, and difficult.

The memory goal is determined by the memory purpose.To determine the memory goal, we must first clarify the purpose of memory, that is, for what to remember, and then determine the specific memory task according to the purpose of memory, and arrange the memory process.For objects that are more complex and require a longer period of time to memorize, long-term goals should be combined with short-term goals, and long-term goals should be divided into several different short-term goals, and long-term goals can be achieved by crossing short-term goals.

Clarifying the goal of memory is not mainly a question of memory skills, but a question of people's memory motivation, attitude, and will.Under the dominance of strong motives, use a serious attitude and a strong will to remember, this is the essence of clear memory goals.After adolescents understand the meaning of memory, they will have a positive attitude towards memory.

To determine the memory intent, we should also pay attention to the following two aspects:

1. Pay attention to the order of memory
For example, to memorize a formula, you must first understand the essence of the formula, then remember it through formula derivation, then use graphics to remember the formula, and finally use the formula repeatedly to strengthen memory by doing type questions.With such a memory sequence, these mathematical formulas will definitely be kept in mind.

2. Memorize goals to be realistic

In memory learning, the established goals should not only be lofty, but also practical.Because only tangible goals can truly inspire people's enthusiasm for fighting for them, and make people confident and sure to turn the goals into reality.

In short, to make yourself truly a master of memory and a genius in memory, the first thing you need to do is to have a clear memory intention.

Only with self-confidence can you improve your memory

Self-confidence is very important at any time.The ancients paid attention to the word "power" when marching and fighting, and emphasized the morale and fighting spirit of the army. If there is ambition and domineering from the commander to the pawns, and they believe that they will win the battle, then their fighting spirit will be high.

Most importantly, such a "self-confident teacher" will never be easily defeated.Whether there is self-confidence or not is often doomed to the success or failure of the matter at the very beginning.Memory is also inseparable from self-confidence.Because it is an activity of consciousness, its effect obviously depends on the psychological state of the person.Needless to say, a person who has no self-confidence and no fighting spirit, their memory will not achieve very good results.

This is because people's thinking is layered when dealing with things, from bottom to top, including the environment layer, behavior layer, ability layer, belief layer, and identity layer. The focus of many things is on identity.The effect of two people doing one thing can be very different, this is because their identities determine everything.

People can change the environment through behavior, and gaining ability can change the behavior pattern, but without a belief, it is impossible to acquire ability.Memory belongs to the level of ability. If you want to change, you must fundamentally change your identity and beliefs.In this hierarchical tower, the upper ones are often easier to solve the lower ones. If there is a problem with the ability, the change in the attitude will make the ability change lasting.If you can't fundamentally change your beliefs, even if you learn how to memorize, you will gradually forget them.

In fact, at the beginning, people are quite confident in their memories, so they are full of interest and enthusiasm, but when they find out that this is not the case, they often become discouraged, lose confidence, and lose enthusiasm.People often memorize a piece of information completely and accurately on the first day, but when recalling it on the second day, it is good to be able to say half of it correctly.

This kind of thing is very frustrating, but it happens often, and people gradually get used to it, and they relax their demands on themselves, because their self-confidence is hurt.
