What to do if your baby has a poor memory? Improve your memory

Children memorize books for exams but still can't get good grades. Parents are helpless. This may be because the children's left brain has weak logical thinking. As long as the imagination of the right brain is developed, reading can be fun! It doesn't matter if you are born with a bad memory, everything can be cultivated!

Acquired methods to improve baby's memory

Memory depends on the left and right brain:

The human brain is divided into the left brain and the right brain. The left brain is responsible for text, logic, and numbers; the right brain processes images, imagination, and vision. Most people value logical thinking and only use the left brain to remember things, and the imagination potential of the right brain is suppressed. To enhance memory, the secret is to develop the golden right brain, connect the left and right brains when memorizing, and have story associations and pictures. The most common experience of reading is that the subject is accompanied by illustrations and charts, which is more impressive than the text explanation alone.

Memory method for Chinese language:

The "transfer method" is used to remember names of people and streets. Many difficult names have no meaning in themselves, and street names are often translated directly from English. It is necessary to make meaningless names meaningful and vivid so that they can be easily remembered. The "transfer method" can also be applied to names of people and places in Chinese history and scientific terms.

Example: Chen Zhangsheng

Narration: Open the tangerine peel and make a victory gesture.

Children can practice with objects, imagining stories to connect the positions of the objects. After they drop them, they can think of the story and put the objects back in place.

"Story Association Method" memorize words:

It is easier to remember objects than words. First imagine the words as objects, then connect the objects together to form an image or story. The "story association method" can be convenient for daily life, such as remembering the location of goods on the shelf.

Examples: butterfly, crab, pond, hope

Narration: A butterfly flew near a crab and was caught. After struggling, the butterfly jumped into the pond, hoping to get away.

By using appropriate memory techniques, children can not only memorize effectively, but also enhance their learning motivation through interesting learning.

English subject memory method:

The "Character Decomposition Method" is to practice stringing together new characters. Split a new character into multiple groups, imagine each group as an object, and then string together a story. The combined characters and stories should be as short as possible so that they are easy to remember.

Example: BLOOD, B = Boy, LO = Loaf, OD = Road

Narration: There was a boy whose body was as thin as a loaf of bread, lying in the middle of the road. He was hit by a car, leaving a pool of blood on the ground.

Parents can use playing cards to make letter cards, which is cheap and fun.

Student characters for cotton pads:

Write down the new words you want to learn, and use the playing cards in the shape of playing cards to play "covering the quilt". One person is responsible for dealing the cards. When he gets a letter that appears in a new word, he immediately "covers the card" until the new word is complete. This game requires a lot of reaction.

Example: SPIDER

Explanation: If you are dealt a card with one of the letters of the SPIDER card, you must "cover" it immediately.

Memory method for general knowledge:

The "object hooking method" is used to remember the Milky Way. The hooking method is to hook the items to be remembered with images or objects in a certain order. It is most suitable for memorizing general knowledge and Chinese and English words. The human body, animals, and cars can be hooked, but it is recommended to hook up to 10 items at most.

Example: The eight planets

Hair = Mercury, pour a bucket of water on your head, and your hair will be soaked

Eyes = Venus, with a pair of golden eyes

Nose = Earth. Earth has oxygen, so we need to breathe through our nose.

Mouth = Sparks, mouth can spit fire

Ear = Jupiter, flowers and trees grow from ears

Neck = Saturn, a lot of mud sticks to the neck

Hand = Uranus, Uranus will hold a scepter

Belly = Neptune, the belly is so swollen that it sprays water

Commentary: The eight planets are linked to the order of body parts. Imagine a unique portrait. The more exaggerated the better, the more impressive it will be.

Children should first read out numbers 1 to 10 in the order of human organs. For example, 3 is nose, and the earth is the third of the eight planets. They can associate the numbers together.

Rescue memory impairment

Hong Kong's "cramming" education is rigid and focuses on left-brain training. Miss Lee, the president of the Hong Kong Memory Association, who has been teaching memory techniques for more than ten years, said: "Hong Kong people have average memory because the education system focuses too much on left-brain logical thinking. Even teachers don't know how to develop students' right-brain potential. Students with weak logical thinking have poor grades, reduced self-confidence, and no motivation to study, which creates a vicious cycle. To develop the potential of the right brain, you must do more associations."

Memory techniques can also help people with memory impairment. Miss Lee has a student who fell from a height of 9 meters in his early years and suffered severe brain damage. His memory deteriorated and he was unable to work. After learning memory techniques, he can now handle three jobs a day. Miss Lee said that it is best to start learning memory techniques at the age of 6. The brains of children aged 0 to 6 develop rapidly, but begin to slow down at the age of 6, so they need to learn methods. Courses are compiled according to age. For example, the teacher-student ratio for courses for 8 to 15 years old is 1:5, and the class time is optional. There are 24 classes in total. The first 12 classes teach memory methods, and the next 12 classes teach how to apply them in subjects, so that students can apply what they have learned.

Li Yujuan said that memorizing articles requires a mixed learning of two to three memory methods.

Ways to improve memory

• You can eat lecithin, a nutrient extracted from soybeans, which helps improve memory. Eat one to two capsules a day. Egg yolks, fish and bean products are rich in lecithin.

• Eat before the exam to absorb starch, which will be converted into glucose after digestion, which helps to process memory; also reduce the intake of high salt and MSG

• Get enough sleep, go to bed early and get up early

• Make more associations, for example, when you see French fries, you think of McDonald's

• Do more aerobic exercise

Children's daydreaming can help the development of intelligence, emotions, memory and other aspects.
