what is the best way to remember things?

Question

I am doing an experiment concerning memory. I heard that people who have the best memory are the ones who remember things in pictures or images. Is that true? I love to hear especially from people who have an excellent memory..

Answer 1

two ways..

1. If something to learn then learn it in the music of a song you like.

2. If something to remember, you can relate it with a hint or just make images in you mind..

By doing this I can remember all things happened to me in my childhood.. you believe it or not.. I remember everything

Answer 2

1. Short numbers
The easiest, but least reliable, way of remembering numbers is to use simple Number/Rhyme images associated in a story.



A better way is to use a simple peg system, where, for example, you can associate digits from the Number/Rhyme System into positions organized with the Alphabet System.

2. Long numbers (e.g. Pi)
You can store long numbers most effectively with the Journey System. At a simple level, single numbers can be stored at each stop on the journey using Number/Rhyme or Number/Shape images. At a more advanced level you can increase the number of digits stored at each stop by using the Major System.



By using all the simple techniques together you should be able to store a 100 digit number with relatively little effort. Using the more powerful systems, holding it to 1000 digits might not be too much of a challenge.


3. Telephone Numbers
These can be remembered simply by associating numbers from the Number/Rhyme system with positions in either the Alphabet Technique or the Journey System. You can then associate these with the face or name of the person whose number you are remembering.




For example, to remember that someone's phone number is 735-3458, I can imagine myself traveling to their flat: with my destination firmly in mind, I envisage the following stops on my journey:

1. Front door: the door has sprouted angel's wings, and is flying up to heaven! (7)
2. Rose bush: a small sapling (tree, 3) is growing its way through the middle of the bush.
3. Car: some bees have started to build a hive (5) under the wheel of my car. I have to move it very carefully to avoid damaging it.
4. End of road: a tree (3) has fallen into the road. I have to drive around it.
5. Past garage: Someone has nailed a door (4) to the sign. Strange!
6. Under railway bridge: the bees are building another hive (5) between the girders!

7. Beside the river: A rusty farm gate (8) is blocking the road.

Answer 3

i remember things by tell somebody else what I've learned. i really had trouble remembering certain details for my religion class, so i came up with the idea of talking about it with someone. i just began to tell my friend what i knew and when the test came i realized that i had remember almost everything. The logic is that you remember what you tell people, so next time you want to hold on to something, just ask a friend or family member, "hey did you know......?" See if that works. I hope that helps.

Answer 4

Get in the habit to make notations of things you want or need to remember.
Organize these notes occasionally.
Then all you have to remember where the notes are when you need the information again.

Answer 6
