The greatest would be beneficiaries of memory training are the children or any adult interested in learning new things. Learning involves both the ability you be creative or imaginative and the ability to be critical. Both these qualities require that the special training be provided especially from childhood.
Some of the most difficult thing to learn includes new names or a list of items. For example, many children find it difficult to memorize the color spectrum according to the rainbow pattern. Getting the correct series of violet, indigo, blue, green, yellow, orange and red may require a mnemonic. A new name could be formed from the first letters of each word e.g. VIBGYOR. It therefore becomes easier to remember the arrangement of the colors due to association with the name formed out of it.
You can also improve memory of the brain through developing a rhyme in words and associating it with another. This is most applicable when learning new or foreign language. A word such as ‘shoe’ can be related a number ‘two’. Therefore every time the word shoe is required, the already memorized number ‘two’ will bring to mind the word shoe.
One of the surest way of improving memory training is by using all the five senses when first interacting with an event or person. The senses of hearing, seeing, smelling, touch and taste should all be engaged when having the first encounter with anything. Even things that do not have sound, taste or smell can be associated with another. It has been said jokingly that even among students, the best place to learn and memorize anything is in the toilet. You can also associate an event with certain music that you heard or a color that you did observed at the moment that the event took place.
When you make fun or have humor in the process of trying to improve memory of an event or issues, you are likely to remember it better. This partly because the section of the brain that is responsible for processing humor is also responsible for memory. The right part of the brain that is responsible works best in relaxed environment. When learning with humor or fun, the creative part of the mind is engaged through positive imaging.
Other methods of improving brain function and memory include associating with an order or sequence, symbols, numbers, movement or exaggeration.
These and many other methods of improving brain memory work best when the body is relaxed too. You can improve the relaxation of both the brain and the mind through exercises such as Dahn Yoga. These exercises are done in relaxed manner and emphasis meditation. This will rejuvenate the brain cells and enhance their ability to memorize.
