Memory Improvement Strategies
- Human brain estimated storage capacity: 2.5 million GB
- Despite immense capacity, people often forget; this presentation outlines four habits to enhance memory.
Demonstrating Memory Power
- Five volunteers wrote a 30-digit number.
- Presenter, with eyes closed, successfully recalled all 30 digits.
- Speaker's previous memory feats included memorizing 1944 digits and breaking a Guinness record for color sequences.
Four Habits for Memory Improvement
- Habit 1: Attention: Crucial in today's distracting world.
- A key to effective learning.
- Importance of fully concentrating on the material, rather than multitasking.
- Smartphone notifications create major distractions; turning off notifications during learning is recommended.
- Habit 2: Comprehension: Understanding, not just memorization, is paramount.
- Connect new information to existing knowledge (association), e.g. proper/improper fractions and human body analogy.
- Use checkpoints (e.g., every chapter or video) to review and summarize key ideas in one's own words.
- Habit 3: Recall: Active retrieval, not passive review, is essential for retention.
- Testing oneself through self-tests, or teaching the material to others, strengthens memory.
- Repeated tests solidify learning.
- Habit 4: Application: Putting knowledge into practice.
- Input (learning) is easy but doing the work (application) takes effort and results in effective learning.
- Failure to apply learned information leads to shallow learning.
Deeper Understanding & Improvement
- Focus on deep learning over shallow learning.
- Deep learning requires active participation in all four habits: attention, comprehension, recall, and application.
- Schools often fail to teach these crucial habits, resulting in poor learning and retention.
- Employing the four habits is like driving a car with the brakes often applied; by using these habits, learning is simplified. A good car + good habits = better results.
- Lifelong learning is important but lifelong application is more impactful.
