 How to improve your memory
Since i am a little forgetful, i decided to search the internet to see what i could find.
People who repeat something over and over trying to remember something are using their "working memory."
Five minutes later, you probably won't remember the information. Your working memory can hold a small amount of information for a relatively short period of time.
One way to remember more things for a longer period of time is called "Elaborative encoding," Encoding is another word for for transforming something into a memory. "Elaborative encoding" lets you connect new information into memories that you already have, and that helps remember the new information. It can help you move that list of objects out of your working memory into your long term memory.
Here are two ways.
Look at a list of objects and tell a story that has all those things in it.
If the story is silly, that is just fine. Try to imagine the story as you tell it to your self.
Wander around the house, and find 10 different places where you can put something. Make sure that you can walk from one to the next easily and in the same order every time. Make sure you can remember all ten places.
Look at a picture of objects and imagine each object n one of the places in your house. The sillier thr picture you imagine, the more likly you are to remember it.
