How to improve memory

Acronyms

                An acronym is a word or name formed from the initial components of a longer name or phrase, usually using individual initial letters, as in N.A.T.O. (North Atlantic Treaty Organization) or E.U. (European Union), but sometimes using syllables, as in BENELUX (Belgium, Netherlands and Luxembourg), or a mixture of the two, as in RADAR (Radio Detection And Ranging). Similarly, acronyms are sometimes pronounced as words, as in NASA or UNICEF, sometimes as the individual letters, as in FBI or ATM, or a mixture of the two, as in JPEG.

Examples: - JPEG- Joint Photographic Experts Group.

SCUBA-Self Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus.

Extended Acronyms

Another form of Acronym is when a sentence as created from the first letter of each word, so that we remember the certain things.

For example: - VIBGYOR.  Use for remembering the seven colours of Rainbow, i.e., Violet, Indigo, Blue, Green, Yellow, Orange and Red.

Mnemonics

Here we will have to remember that Mnemonics is different form acronyms and abbreviation. Abbreviations and acronyms are shortened forms of words or phrases. An abbreviation is typically a shortened form of words used to represent the whole (such as Dr. or Prof.) while an acronym contains a set of initial letters from a phrase that usually form another word (such as radar or scuba).

A mnemonic is (often) a phrase you use to remember something else with the same first letters, such as "Henry He Likes Beer But Cup Not Over Flowing Nearly" for the symbols in the top line of the periodic table (hydrogen, helium, lithium, beryllium, boron, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, fluorine, neon).

How to Improve Memory-Part1

How to improve memory

Why to improve memory

Before we discuss how to improve memory, we should discuss why we should improve memory.  Improving our memory helps us in many ways, we will able to remember birthdays of people important to us and public figures, anniversaries (specially your wedding anniversary), important appointments, scheduled meeting especially when your boss will be present.  Recall names, facts, figures, faces and dates. And if you are a public speaker (a teacher, professor, trainer, administrator or a politician) then you should be able to speak without seeing notes.  Improving memory helps school students, college students, working people, business people, house-wife and elderly alike.  Everyone should try to improve his memory in one way or another.

Then here are few techniques, and not only techniques but also exercises which will go a long way in improving things for you.  At end of series of these brief articles/video you will be able to feel more confident.  So, let’s start our journey.

 

1.        Visualizing the things: -

One of the important methods of improving the memory is remembering everything as a photograph.  Different people have different types of memories. Some people are able to remember things they listen, some people are able to remember things they read, some people are able to remember things they write and some people are able to remember to things they speak.  But top most way to remember a thing is to see it. Most children are taught things in kindergarten in this way only. If you want to remember any fruit, say blackberry- then visualize the picture of blackberry and then try to remember it.  If you want to remember blue whale then see the picture of blue whale and then try to remember it.

 

Practice exercise: -     

 

Visualize Logo of Five Luxury car brands and then try to remember.

For example, of Mercedes, Audi, Lexus, Rolls Royce and BMW

 

And the slowly increase it to 7 and then it to 10.

 

 

 

 

Take one minute to visualize following sequence of 5 shapes.

 

 

Now try to name the shape according to the alphabets written.  Without seeing the figures. Practice it on a separate paper.
