MUST READ: How To Train Your Brain To Remember Anything. (Full Article)

How to better prepare yourself to acquire and retain the new knowledge.

Success is largely based on what you know - everything you know informs the choices you make. And these choices bring you closer to what you want or increase the distance between you and your ultimate goal in life.

Many people want to learn better, faster, keep more information and apply this knowledge at the right time.

But the reality is that we forget a lot of what we learn. Human oblivion follows a pattern. In fact, research shows that between an hour only, if nothing is done with new information, most people will have forgotten about 50% of what they have learned. After 24 hours, it will be 70% and if a week passes without this information used, up to 90% of them could be lost.

To improve your acquisition of knowledge and retention, new knowledge must be consolidated and securely stored in the long-term memory. You must actively do something with new information for it worth it.

According to Elizabeth Bjork, who has worked on a theory of forgetting with Piotr Wozniak, long-term memory can be characterized by two components - the resistance of recovery and storage resistance. Recovery Force Measurements How much you are likely to remind you of something right now, how close it is the surface of your mind. The storage force measures how deeply the memory is rooted.

If we want our learning to engage, we need to do more than just aim to read a book every week or to passively listen to an audiobook or podcast.

Research indicates that when the memory is recorded for the first time in the brain (specifically in the hippocampus), it is always "fragile" and easily forgotten.

The way you process the information determines the quantity you will remember later

Our brains constantly record information on a temporary basis - remnants of conversations you hear on your way to work, the things you see and what the person before you. This is the only way to separate the relevant knowledge from the clutter.

The brain discharges everything that does not show up in the recent future as soon as possible to make room for new information - If you want to use it again, you must deliberately work on storing it in your long-term memory.

This process is called coding - of printing information in the brain. Without appropriate encoding, there is nothing to store and try to recover the memory later will fail. Restating things you have read and learn daily send a big signal to your brain to keep this knowledge.

At the end of the 19th century Herman Ebbinghaus (a psychologist) was the first to systematically tackle the memory analysis.

His forgetting curve that hypothesizes the decline in the retention of memory over time was influenced by the field of memory science at the time when it was studying how the brain stores information.

He said once: "With a considerable number of repetitions, an appropriate distribution of them on a space of time is resolutely more advantageous than the mass of them at some point."

In a report from the University of Waterloo, the author of the curve of forgetting explains: "When the same thing is exploited the spaced repetition - repeating what you are trying to keep over a period of time.

Example, when you read a book and enjoy, instead Or better share this new knowledge with your audience.

You can even apply it to chapters instead of the entire book.

The 50/50 learning method works really well if you aim to keep most of what will learn. The ultimate test of your knowledge is your ability to transfer it to another person.

"The best way to learn something is to teach it - not just because explaining that it helps you understand it, but also because recovery helps you to remember it," says Adam Grant.

Make the most of the demonstrations to understand the subject inside. Unlike reading or listening to an explanation, demonstrations show you how something works and helps you visualize the concept. In some applicable situations such as learning photography, design, public speech, negotiation, new useful technology, etc., using teaching videos that demonstrate what you are trying to learn can improve your retention rate.

Finally, use sleep as a powerful help between learning sessions. Not only is sleep sleeping after learning a critical part of the process of creating memory, but sleep before learning is important too.

Short Naps can help recover energy. There are now dozens of evidence that supports NAPS. Naps longer (60 minutes) - where the consolidation of memory occurs, is even better.

The more the mind is used, the most robust memory can become. Take control of information storage will help you not only add new bits of information, but will strengthen and strengthen the knowledge you already have.

Here is a quote from Edgar Allan Poe, Marginalia to meditate while you are formed your brain to learn and remember better - "If you want to forget anything on the spot, note that this thing must be memorized."
