FOUR STEPS TO HELP YOU MEMORISE INFORMATION :
Thankfully, the brain is a muscle that can be trained, so anyone who is now thinking, "Well, I'm not good at memorising anything," need not worry. The four stages of information retention in the brain are retrieval, encoding, storage, and attention. What occurs in each step is as follows:
1. Pay attention: Suppose that during a meeting, one of your coworkers makes a marketing idea pitch. Your brain receives the information through sensory receptors. They will store this information for a few short moments until your brain processes it and, hopefully, decides it's relevant. Information won't move on to the next phase until it is consciously perceived by you.
2. Encoding: Your brain is currently encoding the information, which suggests that your colleague's pitch was strong.
3.Storage: Moving information from your short-term memory into your long-term memory is an active step. Your brain can’t make this decision for you, you’ll have to memorize it using a technique that works for you—but we’ll get to that in a minute. 4.Retrieval: How you pay attention, encode, and store information will affect how well you can retrieve it at a later point in time. The more time that passes between the last two steps, storage and retrieval, the more important it is to revisit and review the information frequently so it stays fresh in your mind.
VERBAL MEMORIZATION TECHNIQUES: Consider the following questions to see if you're more of a visual or verbal learner. Are you the type of person who would rather read instructions than watch someone else do something? Are you good at recalling lyrics by heart or possess exceptional word fluency? You'll most likely profit from the following verbal memorising strategies if your answers are in the affirmative.
1. Intimidation
The term "chunking" describes a memory strategy in which things are grouped together to facilitate recall. A grocery list or your Social Security number can come in handy in daily life, even though our phones are really good at memorization (let's be honest, who recalls their partner's phone number these days?).
2. Harmonising
Think about nursery rhymes: rhymes are among the simplest methods for memory! Little ones can even remember them because they are so simple. It will undoubtedly aid in your memory retention if you utilise rhymes to associate a product name with a line of products or to assist you recall someone's name at a networking event (Romana from Asana).
It might not always be possible to make things rhyme, but when it does, it will help with memory retention.
3. Construction methods
This method, as its name implies, lets you expand on knowledge that you already possess. It increases your level of knowledge and proficiency on a subject by making associations and connections. The secret to using this method is to not
