Well there are different types of learners. Some learn by rythm and movement. I think they are called Kynesthetic learners. Each type of learner uses a different side of the brain.

According to recent studies, there supposedly is a "cellular memory", this is, that each of your cells contain the "memory" of every single molecule that integrates them. According to psychologists, there is a difference between memory and routine movements, the example you put of writing on a keyboard while not knowing exactly where the keys are, is just as if you told me that you walk nevertheless you don't know every single inch of the pavement. Psychiatrists say that the memory is in the brain, and that things like "dejavous" are just possible combinations that our own brain make to try to identify situations around you. I particularly believe that memory is a part of our spirit which we carry from life to life, and depending on the capacity of "opening our minds" that we have, will be the capacity, not in learning, but in remembering all the things we already know, and have known since we emerged from God.

Not only that, it is a proven fact that when you are depressed, you really can´t remeber a thing. I mena, its not like you din´t HEAR and now you can´t remember, even if you tried to pay attention, ten minutes later you´ll be having trouble remembering what you heard, especially if the sentence was complex.

I have learnt that a mnemonic device helps you to remember things especially terms better. But I don't know the answer to this...top level of organization?

I always think of dumb stuff. Like whenever I hear the word stuff, I think of Oreos! Or the word hey makes me think of horses. I dont think there is much help for people like us. I guess we all think of odd songs at odd times. If everyone who did that was weird, there would be alot more weird people in this world.

Because little be known try it in the privacy of yourself. If you put something ....... anything to a tune or a jingle ..... even if you make it up.......... you remember it easier than if you just read it or hear it..............  think of all the little jingles you remember for like McDonalds........." I'm Lovin It"  you relate to McD's when you hear that spoke a certain way and how about "EAT FRESH" you relate it to Subway and hmmmmmmm just think about it ...... Jingles are the best way to remember something so it may sound silly but I bet that kid remembers what the teacher said but if she just SAID it ......... they prob wouldnt remeber it. I used to have a math teacher that sang and put it all to a rythm...... it works ....... try it with your to do list for tomorrow and bet you remeber it easier........... even if you dont do it outloud.

I'm afraid I'll have to say you cannot. You cannot possibly remember all words, all verbal forms, all structures, etc. Besides, you will sometimes stammer, or stop to think how to go on speaking. And you'll be affected by nervousness, and other emotions.\n\nYour goal should be to be clear and interesting when you speak or write. Forget about perfection, or are you a perfect speaker of your native tongue? Or do you know anyone who is a perfect speaker/writer of any language?

the brain holds information most effectively when that piece of information is repeatedly fed into it. \n\nso the ultimate key for memorization is REPETITION.\n\nbut there are methods that i can suggest to help make the repetition process more efficient.\n\nA. FOR A LIST OF THINGS, FACTS, FIGURES..\n1. mnemonics are very useful in memorizing. make an acronym out of the first letters of the list of things or ideas you are memorizing.\n\n2. also, imagination and association helps. for example, you are supposed to memorize this:\n\ndog\ncane\ngreen\nlady\ndress\n\nyou could somehow think of an association between these words and imagine it. you could think of a dog holding a cane meeting a lady wearing a green dress.\n\nB. FOR POEMS, SPEECHES...\n\n1. try reading the piece repeatedly. as i've said earlier, repetition is the key.\n\na. if it's a SPEECH, try grouping the sentences and memorize two sentences at a time. repeat them over and over, until you got it. then, move to the next two sentences. once you've memorized them, try reciting these sentences in order with the first two. do this until you've finally finished everything.\n\n\nb. for poems, do the same thing for the speech, this time, instead of sentences, take two lines per stanza at a time.

I too, have a difficult time with retaining information, but I found the easiest way for me to keep anything in memory is to write out the answers to questions as I read them...that and a good night's sleep are very helpful to me, I hope they will help you as well.

write them down, say it to yourself while you're writing it down, then repeat it out loud after you're written it down, and be aware that you're trying to remember.  \n\npracticing memory skills can definatley lengthen your short term memory.

There is a theory that can explain the last song syndrome (which isn't actually a disorder or theory).  The recency effect would best describe why the last song you hear gets stuck in your mind.  The recency effect posits that we will tend to remember the last few things we see or hear.

I've been accused of having "selective amnesia". I've forgotten by whom. But given what I know of amnesia, some people remember some things and not others. Some people remember nothing at all. So ... The correct answer to your question, given amnesia and the way it works with various people, would be ... Yes & No. And I'll trust that we all remember that fact in the future. lol ;-) ~ Peace & Blessings ~

Repetition does not guarantee memorization. Do you remember poems or speeches you had to give from memory in high school? I don't. The best way to improve memory is to associate the item with as many things as you can think of. Anything, sights, sounds, smells, words, feelings. The more the better. Saying it and hearing yourself say them is also important. But all in all, if you don't use it regularly, it will soon be relegated to your mental trash bin.

depends what kind of learner you are, aural, visual or kinesthetic.\naural - listening to a tape \nvisual - through pictures or rewriting things over and over\nkinesthetic- through movement, dance, assocaiting certain moves with certain things to remember.\nSo if you remember the words to a song easier than writing them down then you are aural.\nIf you remember seeing what you wrote or the specifics of something you watched then you are visual.\nIf you danced or ran or moved whilst learning and you associate a movement with what u were learning you are kinesthetic.\nOnce you figure out what you are then you can figure out ways to learn. So by recording yourself reading out stuff u need to revise might be a good way if you are aural!\n\ngood luck. from a visual!

Here are two things that may work for you. I had a friend tell me once that they would study by using the melody of a song. They would take the information they needed to know and memorize in the melody of their favorite songs. This way they knew the melody and words to the song and by replacing the lyrics with the subject they were studying they could remember what they needed to know.\n\nAlso, I had a teacher once tell some tips for remembering things. If he needed to remember a persons name, he would associate it with something to help him remember. If he needed to remember where he put his keys, when he would put them down he would imagine and act as though he was going to slam them right through the table. This way he would remember doing that and remember where he put them.\n\nHe also said he had a trick for studying for finals. What he would do is take the time to right up all his notes from the year/semester for the class. Doing this will help get you started studying because you will remember some of what you type. He would then start to memorize his notes. Taking away more and more as he remembered it until he would read all of his notes back to himself without looking at the paper once.\n\nHope this helps

Using computers too weakens our power in memorization.  Or the other way around, I can't remember much.
