Memory Exercises For Students

Memory Exercises For Students

By:


Your life as a student deals with school works, minor and major exams, participation in school events, and a whole lot more. All these things involve different names of people, place, date, time, event, and other facts. Now, you must have a good memory in order to remember all these stuffs. Otherwise, you will end up missing some necessary appointments.

For sure, you wouldn't want to forget answers on examination, schedule of advisorship, date of required seminar, name of your group mate, or required features of a project. The good thing is you can do away with the disappointing scenario of forgetting something.

For you easily remember something, it would be best if you develop some techniques. You can use mnemonic devices, associate what you have ideas newly encountered with the things you've already learned, do reviews often, and read anything everyday just to jog your memory.


Use of Mnemonic Devices

-there are cases when you need to remember many steps, hierarchy, or elements. To recall related concepts in their proper order or sequence, you can take note only

of the first letters of each concept/idea and maybe give it a more practical/common meaning that could help you in recalling the idea in a much better way.

For example, in remembering the precedence of the mathematical operators (+, -, *, /, ^) you could just think about the acronym EMDAS(exponentiation, multiplication, division, addition, subtraction).


Associating newly encountered ideas with things already learned

- this means that you have to think of how this newly encountered process is related to the rest of the knowledge stocked in your head. For instance, if you already have

an idea about what science is and you begin encountering the topic biology, then start generating questions to yourself. You could probably ask yourself about what is the connection of biology to science, where it fits in the broad scope of science, what are the subtopics under biology, and many others. If you can relate one idea to another, then you possibly remember the one idea by just thinking of the other.

Constant review or practice

-if you are really determined in remembering that certain concept, then you must exert an effort to permanently store that information in your head. You can write a

summary of that concept in a piece of paper and then read it everytime you have a free time. Or if it is a mathematical technique you want to master, then you can do get a piece of paper and a pen and start solving a problem related to that formula.

Reading

-When you read, you are jogging your memory. In reading, you get to encounter some words or ideas you already met before. Perhaps, you were about to forget those ideas but then when encountered such concept again, you tend to store it in your memory with a more solid structure.

These are just four of the many ways a student can do in order to minimize or eliminate the habit of forgetting. You may be familiar with some of the techniques but are not used to it. However, you can start right at this moment in forming the technique. And when you master these techniques, it would be an advantage for you in your studies or in your work later on.
