learn a lesson until ordinary readers who read something and find it difficult later to recall it in their memory.
A user of Quora, a site with answers to various questions which may be present in the rest of the users, asked recently: “what is the best way to memorize or to remember what you study/ are you reading?”. Immediately dozens of people rushed to answer based on their personal experiences and research.
The Independent has gathered some of these and asked for the opinion of experts on how to withdraw as much as possible more things from what we read, whether it’s for science books, or novels, or just for news articles. These are the 9 techniques that propose:
Take a look first at the whole text
In accordance with article of the professor of neurology Bill Klemm, it is a strategic technique in information retrieval. The proposal here is not to avoid to read the whole text, but to take first a quick look by identifying major themes and keywords so you know what to expect when you then read it thoroughly. With the to familiarize yourself with the general topics, it will become easier to remember it later sub.
Keep notes on the page
“Never read without a pencil,” advises a user. “Underline sentences that you find difficult, interesting or important. Pull lines next to paragraphs that have importance. Build charts to see the structure of basic ideas,” she suggests.
Ask yourself questions relevant to the content
Ingrid went into the University of Delaware is proposing “interaction” with the text, i.e. we ask questions to ourselves as we read. If you are reading a book, for example, you could ask the question: “What is the basic idea of this chapter?”.readingbook
Fix – Connection – Reopening
The memory has three stages and the first is the fix. We can improve the impression that makes us a text to make a picture in our minds of the situation, or to imagine ourselves taking part in the things he describes. The second stage is to link, to connect what we read with something we already know. For example, maybe one of the characters of a book to have the same name with a friend. The third stage is the repetition – the more we read something, the stronger becomes the memory. So if you don’t want to re-read from the beginning of an entire book, try to underline some points in the text which you can later refer to.
Share the information with others
In a tedtalk, psychologist Peter Doolitle said that if we want to remember those that we are experiencing, it is important to do something with all this information, as well as the debate around what we read is a useful way of processing new material. All we have to do is to try to explain to others what we think we learned from what we read. And if you don’t make it, we look back at the text and being revised.
Read it out loud
The psychology professor Art Markman says to read it out loud to ourselves helps us to understand and to remember what we read. However, it notes that this technique may only work in case that you have to memorize is a few. And that’s because the proposals do reading out loud, or even whispering, fatal stand out.
Remember to reproduce them and to hear them so the memory for these works completely different from the words we read silently.book-brown-hair-flowers-girl
Read in the paper
E-reading is a very useful tool when we want to avoid a ton of books in our house, since we can download almost everything through the internet.
However the researches claim that this weakens the memory. According to a study, when people read the same story on paper and on the internet, in the first case remembered a lot more.
This is probably because the pile of cards in our hands creates a “palpable sense of progress” which in other case we don’t feel. In the meantime, other research has shown that students perform better when they read something printed and then are asked to answer questions than when reading on a computer screen.
Read “irregular”
Professor of computer science, Ben Y. Zhao argues that trying to memorize everything that we read on a page is just a waste of time. Instead I advise to read “irregular”. “Don’t try to memorize everything as well. On the contrary, focus on key points that form the basis of the other. If you take your time to learn the most important point or idea, then you will be able to recall more bits and pieces through the association or of the production-logic” stresses.
Use the method of “Cornell” to keep notes
The technique of Cornell University for the keeping of correct notes divided into five sections:
Record: Keep notes on what you read.
Questions: Think of questions based on what you read and note the.
Recitation: Cover your notes and try to answer the questions that you wrote earlier.
Reasoning: Ponder deeper into what you read.
Review: Spend at least 10 minutes a week to re-read your notes.
