Memory Improving Tips

Memory training, though mostly for adults, is also suited for teachers and parents concerned with child education and development. A highly developed memory is one of a child’s chief assets. It brings him high marks in school and gives him self-assurance, willpower and poise, the keys to personal and social success. Most of all, it gives children capability which will set the foundation for their future success in the business or professional worlds. Four dissimilar aids to memory are given below, which can be used by adults and children alike. Here are some tips to improve your memory:

• Absorb: In reading a book, letter, article, or whatever it may be, picture each scene or action as you read. Pick up a newspaper or a magazine and read a few sentences. Picture as you read and do this several times. Read an advertisement. See how clearly the writer has portrayed his product and what it will do. With the next sermon, speech, or even conversation that you hear, do the same thing. Listen to every word.
• Exaggeration and intensification: Exaggeration and intensification can improve anyone’s memory. If a thing is normally large, make it either larger or a great deal smaller. Do this even to the point of making the object seem ridiculous. It will stay with you a great deal more easily and also longer.
• Outlines: Initialing and indexing may well serve as a ready position outline for public speakers and for students in classroom recitations.
• Geographical Gems: The three Pacific coast states are Washington, Oregon, and California. WOC or COW. See a cow lying, sunning herself, on the seaside of the Pacific Ocean. Picture this in your magic eye. COW represents the initials of the Pacific Coast states.
