Is there any way to improve children’s memory?

Now more and more families have only one child. Many parents hope that their children will grow up to be outstanding people, so they start education from an early age. However, many mothers will find that children need repeated repetition during education, and sometimes they will forget what they have just been taught in a blink of an eye. How to improve children’s memory? This is an issue that many parents are concerned about. Let me introduce 5 ways to improve children’s memory!

1. Provide children with vivid, vivid, lively and emotionally charged memorization materials. Young children's memory is mainly unconscious. Most things that are intuitive, vivid, interesting, and can evoke strong emotional experiences in young children can be remembered naturally. Therefore, provide children with some colorful, concrete and infectious memorization materials so that the materials themselves can attract children and arouse their high attention. For example, you can provide the following memorization materials: interesting small cards of different shapes made of various materials, movable toys and real objects, etc.

At the same time, efforts should be made to provide children with lively and popular games or puppet shows. Experiments have shown that this will better ensure that children gain a deep impression and enable them to easily memorize knowledge, thereby achieving the goal of improving memory effects and developing memory abilities.

2. Frequently give children specific and clear memory tasks, give correct evaluations to the memory results, and stimulate children's enthusiasm for conscious memory. The occurrence and development of conscious memory is the most important qualitative change in the process of children's memory development. In order to cultivate children's ability of conscious memory, in daily life and various organized activities, adults should often consciously propose specific and clear memorization tasks to children to promote the development of children's conscious memory. For example, when listening to stories, going out for a visit, or taking a walk after a meal, children should be given memorization tasks. If there are no specific requirements, children will not take the initiative to memorize. It is worth noting that when making clear and appropriate memory requirements to young children, timely affirmation and praise should be given to the children when they complete the memory tasks to improve their enthusiasm and initiative in memory. Experiments have shown that this will help young children to actively memorize better.

3. Help children understand the materials to be memorized and improve their level of meaningful memorization and cognitive ability. In the early childhood period, although children have more mechanical memory than meaningful memory, the effect of meaningful memory is better than that of mechanical memory. Research by many psychologists has shown that young children tend to remember things that are familiar and understood very well. It is very important to cultivate and develop children's intentional memory ability. To this end, it is necessary to use various methods to help children understand the materials to be memorized as much as possible. In actual practice, you can ask children some questions, such as "Why can birds fly?", "Why can ducks swim in water?", etc., to guide them to memorize through active thinking and on the basis of understanding their meaning; for meaningless or impossible to understand materials, try to help children find the connection between their meanings; for some content that is not easy to remember but needs to be remembered in daily life, you can adopt the classification memory method. Experiments have shown that this can significantly improve children's memory.

4. Use multiple sensory organs to memorize. In order to improve the memory effect of young children, the method of collaborative memory can be adopted. That is, when young children are memorizing, multiple sensory organs are involved in the activities to establish multi-faceted connections in the brain. This is a way to deepen young children's memory. Experimental studies have shown that if young children are allowed to mobilize multiple senses such as eyes, ears, mouth, nose, and hands, leaving many traces of the "same meaning" in the cerebral cortex, and establishing multi-channel connections in the visual area, auditory area, olfactory area, motor area, language area, etc. of the cerebral cortex, the memory effect will definitely be improved. Therefore, young children should be guided to use multiple senses to participate in memory activities. If you want young children to feel the spring, you should try to take them to look, touch, smell and taste more, and gain perceptual knowledge from multiple aspects through multiple senses such as eyes, ears, hands, nose and mouth. Experiments have shown that this will help young children remember quickly and well.

5. Help children to review reasonably to enhance their memory. The characteristics of young children's memory are that they remember quickly, forget quickly, and are not easy to persist. Therefore, when guiding young children to memorize, a certain amount of repetition and review is very necessary. This is not only an important measure to improve children's memory, but also the best way to consolidate children's memory and improve their memory ability. Generally speaking, when letting children review and consolidate what they have learned, it is not appropriate to use monotonous, long-term repetitive stimulation. Instead, it should be done when the child is emotionally stable using a variety of interesting methods. Such as storytelling, reciting nursery rhymes, guessing riddles, performances, games and competitions, walks and outings, and daily life activities. Experiments have shown that this not only enables children to quickly consolidate the knowledge and skills they have learned in a relaxed and happy mood, but also stimulates their interest in memory and increases their enthusiasm for learning.

The above are some methods for children to improve their memory. It should be noted that in order to improve children's memory, parents must learn to guide their children correctly, let them master effective memory methods, and give them opportunities to explore and communicate. Children's memory needs to be cultivated step by step, and it cannot be done all at once, so you must have enough patience.
