Techniques to Enhance Learning and Memory | Nancy D. Chiaravalloti | TEDxHerndon

[@PerrinAybara752]

Another tecnique to improve the memory is : every night when youre going to sleep , you try to remember all of the things that you did through the day , ps : the most important thing about this tecnique is try to remember the minimal details . whether you believe it or not , it did help me improve A LOT my memory efficiency.

[@grimskull416]

My problem is remembering events and conversations. I found that I personally lacked a lot of focus and concentration. Without being able to do that meant my brain didn't even have all the data I needed for encoding. So, being able to focus and comprehend, alongside these techniques, is the key to better memory.

[@jamescollins5274]

[@barrymead3358]

The start of this began with a memory technique i use and believe is functional. That the more ways you can put something in your mind, the better, so suppose you learn a language. You wouldn't just read from a book, you would take a word,read it,write it,listen to it,say it. see it ie, write it on the object if you can, say it when you see the object. This is encoding in multiple ways. Repetition will aid too. But there is a technique which installs things into us and we don't know it. It is likely just unconscious repetition, but this does not fully explain it, what is it? I don't know. What i mean is, take your name, your wifes name,or husband (since we often say, dear/darling etc) your house address, your route to work after just a couple of trips. There are many things which we scarcely ever repeat (yes the trip to work but not after the first go or second, should it be so easy to recall) yet we recall them easily. Now perhaps it is subconscious repetition because the information is important, perhaps it is visual association of something important and without clear deliberate recall, we recognise the necessity of recall and so our brains retain it. But one thing is also true, persistently testing our memory and using it helps it.

[@kolyxix]

The big question I have is how do you determine what images to use. Or How quickly do you have to determine what imagery you are going to associate with the information you are taking in.

[@tyghani5470]

I think the basic are excellent foundation, however like every individual has a leaning style, I feel the same can be said for memory. We must revisit our childhood again, and try to salvage our original styles.. excellent lecture... thanks

[@akillaskaramitros7516]

The image that she uses is way too boring. I'd change it to your mom eating a poison apple, with a pot of coffee being poured on her head, all of this while she is standing in in an enormous blossom full of butter. She talks about making images mean something but they need to be funny, outrageous, and memorable.

[@maxmeusel4531]

Joshua Burch Diffrent things work for each person as she said. I am finally going to try these tecnics to learn how to learn. Also using "How to learn anything in the first 20" same time.

[@joshuaburch382]

This is true to an extent. My main point was that it is easier remember novel images. Loads of reasearch has been done to sustain this including the speaker's research. Different things will be novel for different people, that is true, but as we engage more senses in our memories we engage more of the brain and cause the image to stick. We create more associations and these associations are what make it easy to remember. There are two issues with the image she creates that will cause her to forget. The first is the image of the apple on a table. It is common to see apples on tables. If it is common or normal, there's no reason to remember it. Think of your commute to work or school, it is difficult to pick out specific details about a specific commute because it is so normal and common that our brain goes on auto pilot. So an apple on a table is too common a sight for most. The second issue I see is the to-go cup of coffee. Once again, this might be memorable for many, but she explains that this is a normal everyday image for here. That is the exact opposite of what you need for memory. I say all this with some experience. I am a French teacher with a master's in education. I use mnemonics and memory devices on a daily basis to teach my students and enrich my own life. I have studied these techniques intensely over the years. I know pi to 100 places, I can memorize a deck of cards in about 5 minute. As a performing magician I have a demonstration in my act where I have people call out a 30 digit number and I recall it perfectly forwards and backwards. I'm familiar with many memory techniques and I use them daily. True, different things work for different people but this speaker gives an incomplete picture of how these techniques can be best used. If this stuff appeals to you I recommend Joshua Foer's TED talk.

What am doing now to avoid a lack of lessening is to put myself in the shoes of the person next to me , like that I understand and imagine the situation like it happens to me .

Networking and chunking seem to be the most effective in long term memory. Personally I try to create images of 5 pieces of information, no more no less. This becomes a rule of 5, so then I have 5 images that are all chained together in a story. This way I can’t lose any information without knowing I’ve lost it... if an apple is cut open and inside is a spider and the spider has glowing green eyes.. in the reflection of the eyes is a safe inside the safe is money 🍎 🕷 ♻️🔒 💰 (couldn’t find some symbols) if I remove the spider.. where do the glowing green eyes come from? If I remove the safe... where is the money? If I remove the apple... where did the spider come from... you get the point If I lose a piece of information I’m then unable to retrieve the rest of the image so I refer back to my notes to avoid creating new associations, once I think I know it by heart I move on. Usually one story/chain is a master group [5 groups of 5] would be a full story for me. Then that turns into a group in itself.. until you have 5 groups of 5 groups of 5 groups... you can keep going with this (you may want to use more or less, eg. Rule of 4 or 6... 4 groups of 4 groups of 4 etc.) Once I have a few stories (5 master groups) I then go for a walk and try to strengthen these stories and associations. Once I’m able to go through the stories and recall the information almost immediately, I then move onto the networking phase... this is more simple... you just let your mind wander as you explore what you learned, this will help you create random associations between your newly possessed knowledge, old knowledge, pictures... pretty much everything, and this is when you start to create pathways between seemingly random information, I believe these are known as neural pathways. The more connections/pathways you have to a piece of information, the less likely you’ll be to forget it. It’s actually kinda fun once you get the hang of it, been trying it out the past couple weeks❕

[@williampennjr.4448]

In biology class we were taught that there are only two kinds of memory, short term which last only long enough that it is immediately useful, and long term which last for years. I always knew this was BS. Everyone knows there are memory's that last for minutes and day but fade away after weeks or months. I think of memory like this 1. Immediate- like being told a phone number that you forget right after making the call. 2. short term- last about a day, like what you ate for breakfast. 3. Long term- lasts from a week to a few months, like a poem you memorize for a day but don't think about again. Very unlikely you would remember it a month later, or a former temporary coworker. 4. Permanent- lasts a lifetime, like riding a bicycle, your friends name.

[@This_is_super_dumb_but]

There are two memory systems. Short term and long term. But while long term can last for years, it can also be lost at any time too. The neural pathways to those memories can degrade over time (sometimes a matter of days or hours.) But what you were being taught in school was about the memory *systems*, how they operate, transport, and transform data. It also was supposed to emphasize how vast and complicated memory is. People like to think that memory is "a thing" when it actually has different parts & systems. So actually, they weren't trying to teach you that we "only have" a "limited set two" types of memory. But rather, they were trying to highlight that memory is so vast and complex that it even has different parts that are completely separate from each other. The further you get into that field the more you learn that memory is really crazy and magical and unpredictable and frankly totally unreliable 😂 like for example, in order to remember something, you need to visit that memory a few times. But by visiting a memory, you actually change it a bit each time to where it is less and less like the actual event. It's crazy. Oh and every single thing is in there somewhere. It's not the memories that fade (even though our braincells die) but rather the connection/road to that exact memory that disappears. So it's more that you "can't find it," rather than it disappearing from your head. (Which is crazy to me since I've had PTSD based amnesia in my past, so it's especially frustrating to hear that it's "there somewhere")

[@williampennjr.4448]

@@This_is_super_dumb_but yes, I've alway heard these, but if they were just trying to emphasize the vastness and complexity of memory they did a terrible job. They just made it sound simplistic. They also were making it sound as if you could remember something for more than 2 minutes than you would never forget it, which everyone knows from their own experiences isn't true. I also know there's a theory that memory is never truly gone, short of brain damage, but that is far from proven. It does seem that way, since I've had memories come back that I thought were long time gone. Like you said we can have false memories, so I don't think we will ever know if real memory can be permanent. I'm in my 50's and i still get memories of when I was a toddler or in kindergarten which I haven't thought about in decades. I also have memories I dont know if they actually happened or were dreams. You're right that memory is a funny thing. Sometimes older memories can be clearer than more resent ones. When your sure you going to remember something that is the very thing you will forget, but the things your sure you will forget are the things you cant get out of your head.

I have the problem with memorizing and experimented with a lot of different methods. Before looking for information on youtube I thought that I had found the solution :))) I started to memorize the profession related information using images, stories and linking them to my personal experience. It really worked for memorizing the information in short term... but the problem is that this did not work for me in a long term education. When you have to remember a complex information you definitely forget the story line and images as well. maybe its all about using this methods together with everyday training, making something routinely, but in this case you are too limited in time.
