Techniques for Improving Memory - 2

Moving onwards....

The next technique to improve memory is - 

3. Mnemonics - This is useful for remembering sequential patterns of any kind. It is usually done by creating a simple word or phrase by using the first letters of a longer or complicated phrase that is difficult to remember or if you need to remember anything in a particular order or pattern. Acronyms are kinds of Mnemonics.

A simple example of this is BODMAS, as under,

You can create your own Mnemonic or Acronym based on your comforts, likes and areas of interest that will help you remember better. A good idea is to also involves a melody to it, especially if you are an auditory learner.

4. Visualization - Another great way to remember information is to visualize as much as possible. Whenever you hear or come across any new information try and create an image of it in your mind and use the association technique that we had mentioned in the previous article. It does not have to be a clear visualization; it can be an abstract one or whatever image the new information creates in your mind. To each his/her own. This is very personal, so it does not need to make sense; as long as you remember!
