How to Improve Your Memory by Forgetting the Right Things
Jon Weaver asked: Back in 1885, the German scientist Hermann Ebbinghaus made the first experimental studies in remembering and forgetting. What he discovered then still holds true today — that using the common method of memorizing, we forget forty percent within twenty minutes and seventy-five percent by the end of the week! Doesn’t it stand to reason, then, that if you are going to bother to learn things once, you might just as well go to a little extra trouble and protect your investment of time? You can do this easily by repeating briefly what you have learned once a day for a week, and then once a week for a month.There have been men with a genius for memory, but their feats lie entirely outside the experience of us ordinary mortals. Lord Macaulay could memorize entire books at a single reading, Mozart as a boy wrote down the score of an oratorio after hearing it once, and Dumas pere never forgot anything he had read. My course in memory training cannot claim to teach you to duplicate such miracles. It is based simply on the laws of the workings of the minds of normal men, and its success is [...]

Boost Your Memory With Your Imagination
Martin Mak asked: Don’t you find it troublesome when you can’t remember where you parked your car? Or do you get frustrated when you can’t remember your password to your computer or ATM machine? Whether it’s forgotten names, misplaced keys, missed appointments or simply not being able to recall something you know that you know, experts say we don’t have to put up with forgetfulness, and it has nothing to do with age. We can have a great memory well into our 80s and beyond, but only if we’re willing to invest some time and energy. “Your memory declines with age only if it’s not used. Conversely, if it is used, it will continue to improve throughout your lifetime. But you have to work at it. The advantage of this is a better quality of life in your later years. Research has shown that seniors with a sharp memory and an alert mind are more socially active and participate in a broader range of activities, which in turn helps maintain brain power and memory in the process. Studies suggest that healthy, active seniors are able to learn and remember nearly as much as younger age groups, maybe just not at [...]

Memory – Our Incredible Minds
Stephen Campbell asked: Human brain is a physical organ but the mind, thoughts ad memories are subtle functions carried out in the brain, which cannot be physically identified or associated with any other physical organ. The mind is always considered as the seat of self consciousness, beliefs, desires, reasoning and remembering etc. the mind is not dependant on the brain nor is it answerable to any other bodily function. Many skeptics despise the view of god heads calling the mind as the seat of the soul. Many occults do believe that mind is what remains and continues to live after a person’s death.Talking about the incredible mind one can never brush away the memories stored in the mind.

Their explanation seems to be just not enough and there is always [...]

Stephen Campbell asked: Science has developed by leaps and bounds lately and almost all forms of science have become very advanced because of the research and develop being conducted in their respective fields. The only science which is still under great controversy in the science based on the brains power, the mental domain and the memory speculation which is other wise called as neurosciences or neuropsychology.Mind is an amazing thing conceptualized by god.

Memory Training – What are the Benefits?
Bertil Hjert asked: Memory techniques are not new. These techniques have been existing for a long time now. It is very difficult to understand human memory as its mechanism is very complicated. However, human memory is one of the most crucial things to understand. Memory cannot be compared to intelligence. It is actually the power of the mind that works towards processing and deducting and assist it. One of the oldest memory techniques dates back to the era of ancient Romans. A Roman orator would walk around his garden when preparing for a speech and relate various parts of speech to different parts of the garden via placing these parts of the speech at different locations already opted across the garden. Anything that’s associated to imagery is difficult to forget. According to a recent research, it has been proved that it is possible to train people to become more intelligent and increase the brain power they actually possessed at the time of birth. It was assumed until late that one cannot think of fluid intelligence that has the ability to solve problems. However, according to a latest research, it has been proved that there is a method that can improve this skill. This is [...]
