listen and read, which way you remember well?

Question

same information, u listen some one to read it, or u read (not alound) on the page. Which way do u memorize well, which way has a deep impression on your mind?

thanx a lot !

Answer 1

i find i have a better memory if i am reading it myself....i repeat read the facts and find my recollection better

Answer 2

Reading helps some, but what really helped me to memorize information was by writing out my notes. I would outline each chapter, add my notes from the teacher and answer homework questions. Then at the end of the semester, I would sell my notes because they were painfully neat and organized.

Answer 3

Listening and reading , both have their independent ways and it depends on an individual person's capacity and nature. According to me reading is the best way to memorize well.

Answer 4

Fortunately for me I have a pretty darn good memory no matter how I hear it, my husband can vouch for that, lol. But I do have a preference and it is to read it or see it. I have a photographic memory to a degree so I like to be able to look back and remember that way.

Answer 5

It depends on the information. If it's an area I'm really unfamiliar with, hearing it read aloud helps. Otherwise, I do just fine reading.

Answer 6

It all depends on what kind of learner you are. For me, I find that taking notes on what I read or hear greatly helps me memorize the material.

Answer 7

You're looking at it far too simplistically. It's not an either/or question, nor is it restricted to only those two things. Do a little research on memory and the brain.

Answer 8

I do better by reading to myself. I guess it makes me think more. I sometimes have to read it 2-3 times to make sure I know it.

Answer 9

Writing stays with me, if you are a student reading or listening may not stick but writing notes helps me.

Answer 10

For me, always better to read it than to hear it
