WAYS TO IMPROVE MEMORY
All memory methods depend on two basic principles: (1) changing information into forms that are easy to remember, and (2) using ways recall the information when it is needed. For example, many schoolchildren learn the colors of the visible spectrum by learning the imaginary name ROY G. BIV, which stands for red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet.
1. Several bits of information are made into an acronym that is easier to remember. The letters of the acronym serve as remembering signs. For example, HOMES for names of the Great Lakes, (Huron, Ontario, Michigan, Erie, and Superior ).
2. Learning information in a meaningful way helps in retention. There are many ways to encode information meaningfully. When possible, try to change information into pictures. When learning about events and facts, try to focus on their meaning rather than their superficial characteristics.3. Relating new information to your personal experiences or to what you already know also makes it easier to keep the information.
4. Spacing out study sessions is another way to improve your memory. That is, if you are going to read a chapter twice before a test, it is better if you allow some time between readings, instead of reading the chapter twice in one sitting. Overall, spaced learning or spaced practice is better than massed practice for keeping facts and skills over longer intervals. However, if a test occurs soon after learning, massed practice is as good as or better than spaced practice.
