Memory Principles

Controlling memory can be a hard thing to do. Most people don’t know how their brain functions. But memory is all about making an effort to remember things, controlling the amount of information your taken, strengthening your neural traces, and allowing time to solidify your pathways. To remember something you must 1st give an effort to remembering. Meaning if you want to remember something you most 1st intent to remember. If you enter the class not trying to or thinking about remembering then you want remember. Next in line is controlling the amount of information given. You have to be selective of what the teacher is saying, more than likely they will put more action into words and information that you need to know. Strengthening your neural traces means you most recite, visualize, and associate the teacher’s information with something that can help you remember. Last but not least, is allowing time to solidify pathways. This means sitting down and thinking about the information giving and practice using it. Doing this will help you get better use of your memory.
