Strategies To Improve Memory For Achieving Academic Excellence

Editor's Notes

  1. Everyone has moments where concentration lapses, and other factors contribute to poor memory. Memory plays an essential role in our life, especially in students' academic careers. Good memory is vital to remembering and learning for students. Students having the strongest working memory generally perform well academically. This guide will help you gain knowledge about improving memory for your studies. 
  2. Memory is the process of taking in information from the world around us to process and store it for later use.
  3. Types of Memory. Memory is of two types, short-term and long-term memory. Short Term Memory. The brain can store small amounts of information for a short period. It lasts from seconds to a couple of hours depending on the individual. Long Term Memory. It is the ability of the brain to store information for a longer period. Long-term memory is an imprint on your brain which is difficult to forget and can be retrieved instantenously.
  4. Recalling facts: Students can remember facts during tests, assignments, and class discussions. Paying attention: A student can process and retain information via working memory. Following instructions: Students can recall spoken instructions from the instructor. Solving problems: Every subject requires working memory. For example in mathematics, good memory can help you remember important formulas and equations.
  5. These strategies that can improve memory: Add visuals in studies like highlighting text, adding note cards, and concept maps. Create mnemonics, they will help you in retaining information by only remembering one unique phrase or letter. You should get quality sleep and rest well to refresh your brain. Connect new information with the old information to remember things for a long time.
  6. Study frequently for shorter periods as once the information becomes part of your long term memory you are most likely to remember it. Revise and repeat what you study. Practice the concepts, again and again, to keep them in your memory for a long time. Pay careful attention to new information and make a continuous effort to remember it. Keep your brain active by taking part in physical activities like sports.
  7. Before your next big exam don't forget to try these techniques to improve your memory:  Focus your attention on tasks: Try to remove distractions and stay focused on your task. Avoid cramming: Studies show that students who study regularly remember far better than those who study in one go. Structure and Organize: Organize material by its importance. Group similar ones and focus your attention on them. Pay extra attention to difficult information: Spend extra time on challenging topics and revise and rehearse well.
