How to improve memory and reaction ability more effectively

If we want to effectively improve our memory and reaction ability, then we should understand some correct training methods, think more and use our brains, and continue to learn. This can delay the aging of the brain. Also, we should remember things repeatedly, and naturally your memory will improve.

1. Use your brain more and think more: Continuous learning and memorization can delay brain aging.

2. Maintain a good mood: cultivate interest in learning, actively participate in cultural and sports activities, cultivate good interpersonal relationships, and ensure adequate rest and sleep, which are conducive to a stable mood and improved memory.

3. Understand the law of forgetting and review in time: Forgetting has the law of fast at first and then slow down, that is, most of the memorized content can be forgotten within a few days, and the speed of forgetting will gradually slow down afterwards. So you should review in time.

4. Repeated memorization: Short-term memory (memory of less than 15 minutes) must be repeated many times before it can enter long-term memory (memory of longer than 1 minute to lifelong memory). According to the forgetting curve, the best learning effect can be achieved by reviewing the material once on the same day, the second day, the fourth day, the seventh day, the ninth day and the sixteenth day after memorization.

5. Diversify the forms of memory: such as using image memory; associative memory, combining vision, hearing, movement, etc.; compiling the memorized content into rhymes, etc.

6. The mechanical memory ability of the elderly has declined, but their comprehension memory has not diminished. The elderly can use scientific living methods to resist forgetting: such as fixing things in fixed places, labeling items in cabinets and drawers, etc. Reading newspapers is of great benefit to the elderly.
