How to improve learning efficiency and improve memory?

1. Develop a habit of actively reviewing what you have learned over a period of time. This is not only conducive to consolidating long-term memory, but also through reviewing, you can integrate new and old knowledge and get new inspiration.

2. Opportunities to Create Memories In fact, very few people actually stick to the first rule. Hence the second rule: create opportunities to recall existing knowledge. The specific method is:

① often discuss with others, or tell others. Discuss and communicate with friends often, and talk about things that have been summarized for a period of time, so that others will learn new things, you will also learn new things from others, and in the process of expressing each other, you will strengthen your own memory and understanding, a win-win situation. matter.

② Organize your notes. Organize previous notes to consolidate memories that have faded, and to give you a chance to re-examine knowledge, because our first understanding of things is almost certainly not in-depth (if you don’t have the habit of taking notes, start doing it now)

③ writing. The knowledge learned over a period of time is systematically "stringed" according to a theme, which can greatly enrich the relationship between knowledge and add countless extraction clues.

3. Practice or "virtual experience" what others have experienced. For the learning of experience and knowledge, it is not enough to just watch others do or listen to what others say. Often, you can't remember it yourself, and the result is that although you have learned the knowledge , it doesn't pop out of your brain at the right time, it's "dead" knowledge. One of the key reasons for this may be that "other people's affairs" and "own affairs" are processed differently in the brain. When someone hits a wall, you may not only feel no pain but also gloat at misfortune, grinning when you scratch your skin. ...so it's always difficult for us to learn our own lessons from the experiences of others. One way to make amends is to try to imagine yourself in someone else's situation, to experience what other people are going through, to feel them, and to tie them into your emotional memory. Of course, another method that is often called for is practice, but many times it is difficult for us to practice, so we can only "virtual practice".

4. One of the most outstanding abilities of the human brain is the powerful ability of induction and reasoning, or as we often say: generalization, generalization, inference, abstraction. The meanings are similar, and they all extend the rules obtained in special cases to the general case. If you can't draw inferences from one case, then learning will be a very "tiring" thing. It is also difficult to convert those initial "data, information" into "knowledge, wisdom".

Let alone improve memory. For most ordinary people, there are two factors that make us remember deeply: 1. Repetition and 2. Emotion. 1. Repeat. We learn a new knowledge, a new skill, if we do not reuse it, we will forget it in less than a month. Most people are like this, it is determined by the body structure. People with innate memories are not excluded, but we are just ordinary people. We receive a lot of information and experience many things every day. It is impossible for our brains to remember each and every one of them clearly. That will burst our brains, so our brains are very smart, and it will selectively filter some information that is not often used. 2. Emotion. We have a hard time forgetting our ex, and the things we spent with them are still fresh in our minds. This is because when you are in a relationship with your ex, the brain secretes some substances, such as exciting dopamine and oxytocin, which can improve the memory of the brain. And when we watch a horror movie, the images that make you feel fear or other emotions make you especially deeply, because when people are afraid, the brain will secrete adrenaline. Therefore, if you want to improve your memory, you can start from two aspects, one is to practice repeatedly, the other is to remember your emotions while learning, or deliberately let the brain secrete some brain substances.
