Do YoU REMEMBER...?

Memory is a subject that has fascinated scientists for centuries, and many studies have been carried out on individuals who have enhanced memory capabilities. 1 So what about the rest of us? Will we forever be forgetting birthdays and appointments and important information? Experts think not. It is now generally accepted that having a good memory is not genetic, but leamed.

Mnemonics

Mnemonics is basically a skill set that helps your brain remember, and anyone can utilize it. One of the techniques is the use of acronyms. 2

This is good for long lists of words, but what about numbers? You could try the Major System: every number has a sound associated with it. For example, 7 is a hard ‘c’, 2 is 'n’ and 4 is ‘r’, so we can make the number 724 into ‘canary’ by adding a few vowel sounds. In addition, you can combine the Major System with visualization – imagine a canary showing a film on a jet plane to help you remember the word! 3 Break the number into smaller parts: 7-24 is a lot easier to remember.

Brais Exercises

Professional athletes often say “if you don’t use it, you lose it” when talking about their bodies physical capabilities, the same is true of the brain. 4 Try solving maths problems in your head instead of using your phone’s calculator, or learn how to cook, knit, speak a new language or play a musical instrument. It can be helpful and also fun to play word games with your friends, draw a map from memory, or try to identify the ingredients in a dish you haven’t tasted before.

Diet / Daily habits

It’s important to remember that lifestyle plays a role in brain function too. 5 Proper sleep is also fundamental. When you’re sleeping, your brain is still absorbing information and organising your memories. What is more, getting a good night’s rest also boosts concentration during the day.

Concentration

Most of us blame our inability to remember on having a ‘bad’ memory, but the truth is that we weren’t paying attention when we first received the information. In our fast-paced modern world, the words of eighteenth-century English author Samuel Johnson still ring true: “The true art of memory is the art of attention.”

Exercise 3. Read the text again. Match the sentences (A - F) to the gaps (1-5). There is one extra sentence.

B) People with these abilities are very rare, however.

C) They're not complicated, but it needs a lot of practice to recall them in detail.

D)A good diet containing “brain food" like oily fish, walnuts and green tea is very beneficial, as is regular exercise, which increases blood flow to the brain.

E) It needs regular exercise and new challenges to stay strong

F) For example, if you needed to buy celery, her apples, rice and muesli, you might use the acronym CHARM
