Memory techniques
Some methods for remembering information date back centuries and are still useful today. In fact, you may have used some of them yourself! The following are four of the most common memory techniques.
A THE METHOD OF LOCI
This technique for improving your memory was originally used in ancterrt Rome and Greece. With this method, you use familiar locations, like your own home, in order to remember a list of items, such as a things-to-do list. If ‘buy milk’ was the first thing on your list, you might imagine coming home from work and seeing some milk bottles outside the front door. If the second thing is ‘post birthday card’, you then picture the letterbox on the door as you walk into the house with your milk bottles.
B THE CHUNKING TECHNIQUE
This method is most often used for memorizing long sets of numbers or for the spelling of complicated words. With the chunking technique, you can breakdown a huge amount of information into smaller parts, or chunks. Apparently, it is then easier to recall this information when you need it. For example, if someone tells you that their phone number is 0044 1614960998, and you don’t have a pen and paper to note it down, you can memorize it in chunks like this: 00 – 44 – 16 – 14 – 96 – 09 – 98.
C THE PYTHAGORAS METHOD
Pythagoras is best known as a mathematician, but it seems he was also busy developing a technique to improve memory. Apparently, every night he recalled what happened during that day to help him remember these events in as much detail as possible. After a while, he could recall more than one day at once, which helped him retain these events or months or evern years. This method is just as applicable today, as your teachers know well. That’s why they keep telling you to study for exams weeks in advance.
D USING MNEMONICS
People use mnemonics, for a I kinds of things, but they are particularly useful for memorizing your PIN. We are constantly told that we must not write our PIN down on a piece of paper, so how are you supposed to remember it? One of the easiest ways is to associate the numbers with the letters of the alphabet, so that 1 – A, 2 – B, and so on. You can then use the letters – in orcer – to make a four-word sentence in which each word begins with each oftne letters. for example, the letters representing the PIN 3825 would be CHBE, so your sentence could be ‘Cats Have Big Eyes.Question:is the best for remembering lists of words?CorrectIncorrect -

Pythagoras is best known as a mathematician, but it seems he was also busy developing a technique to improve memory. Apparently, every night he recalled what happened during that day to help him remember these events in as much detail as possible. After a while, he could recall more than one day at once, which helped him retain these events or months or evern years. This method is just as applicable today, as your teachers know well. That’s why they keep telling you to study for exams weeks in advance.
D USING MNEMONICS
People use mnemonics, for a I kinds of things, but they are particularly useful for memorizing your PIN. We are constantly told that we must not write our PIN down on a piece of paper, so how are you supposed to remember it? One of the easiest ways is to associate the numbers with the letters of the alphabet, so that 1 – A, 2 – B, and so on. You can then use the letters – in orcer – to make a four-word sentence in which each word begins with each oftne letters. for example, the letters representing the PIN 3825 would be CHBE, so your sentence could be ‘Cats Have Big Eyes.-

Memory techniques
Some methods for remembering information date back centuries and are still useful today. In fact, you may have used some of them yourself! The following are four of the most common memory techniques.
A THE METHOD OF LOCI
This technique for improving your memory was originally used in ancterrt Rome and Greece. With this method, you use familiar locations, like your own home, in order to remember a list of items, such as a things-to-do list. If ‘buy milk’ was the first thing on your list, you might imagine coming home from work and seeing some milk bottles outside the front door. If the second thing is ‘post birthday card’, you then picture the letterbox on the door as you walk into the house with your milk bottles.
B THE CHUNKING TECHNIQUE
This method is most often used for memorizing long sets of numbers or for the spelling of complicated words. With the chunking technique, you can breakdown a huge amount of information into smaller parts, or chunks. Apparently, it is then easier to recall this information when you need it. For example, if someone tells you that their phone number is 0044 1614960998, and you don’t have a pen and paper to note it down, you can memorize it in chunks like this: 00 – 44 – 16 – 14 – 96 – 09 – 98.
C THE PYTHAGORAS METHOD
Pythagoras is best known as a mathematician, but it seems he was also busy developing a technique to improve memory. Apparently, every night he recalled what happened during that day to help him remember these events in as much detail as possible. After a while, he could recall more than one day at once, which helped him retain these events or months or evern years. This method is just as applicable today, as your teachers know well.
