What are some ways to improve children's memory?

Children have poor memory, cannot remember what they have learned, have poor academic performance, and often forget things. This is a problem that many parents often encounter in their children's early education. If children's memory cannot be improved effectively, they will lag behind others in their studies at every stage. In order to help children win at the starting line, parents should master several methods to improve their children's memory. What are some ways to improve children’s memory?

Method 1: Aim at the right target - clarify the recent memory goal

No matter what you do, you must have a goal. This goal tempts people, guides people, and enables them to enter a higher realm. Similarly, parents must make their children clearly aware that their learning always has a certain goal, which is a prerequisite and foundation for successfully improving memory efficiency. So, how do you establish short-term memory goals? The key is to learn to arrange the memory process, divide the long-term goal into several different short-term goals, and achieve them one by one, one by one. Every time you achieve a short-term goal, you can boost your confidence, improve your memory efficiency, and increase your memory speed. When all short-term goals are achieved, the long-term goals that you have been pursuing will be within reach. Getting closer to long-term goals will undoubtedly stimulate memory efficiency more strongly, thereby improving memory ability more effectively.

Method 2: Memorize based on understanding

The method of memorizing materials based on active thinking and deep understanding is called understanding memorization method. The basic condition for understanding memory is to process the material mentally. Some materials, such as scientific concepts, categories, theorems, laws and rules, historical events, literary works, etc., are meaningful. When people memorize this type of material, they generally do not memorize it word for word. Instead, they first understand its basic meaning. That is, they use existing knowledge and experience to analyze and synthesize it through thinking, grasp the characteristics of each part of the material and the internal logical connections, and incorporate it into the existing knowledge structure so that it can be kept in memory.

The comprehensiveness, firmness, accuracy, rapidity and effectiveness of understanding memory depend on the degree of primary school students' understanding of the materials. Understanding memory is better than mechanical memory.

Method 3: Using intuitive images to memorize

According to statistics and research by psychologists, primary school students are good at memorizing concrete images. Intuitive and figurative things, especially visual images, can easily leave a deep impression on children. Therefore, when children memorize some abstract things, they should try to combine them with concrete and vivid things, and based on the images, summarize universal conclusions.

Method (IV) Selected Memory Method

Selecting and choosing the memory materials, and then deciding which ones to focus on and which ones to ignore, this method of memory is called the selective memory method. It is said that in ancient times, some people had excellent memory and could even recite articles backwards and memorize them after reading them once. However, Zheng Banqiao looked down on such people and called them "dull men who have no idea what is going on." What does it mean to have no answer? Just memorize everything without distinguishing between the main and the secondary, the important and the unimportant, the useful and the useless. Primary school students are exposed to too much information every day. Not all of this information needs to be memorized. Many detailed explanatory texts in textbooks and notes, many exercises of the same type, non-key content, and more complex and difficult-to-remember formulas that can be derived from other formulas can all be ignored. In this way, you can focus your main energy on memorizing the most important, meaningful, and valuable materials for the exam. To lead a cow, you must lead it by the nose; to memorize, you must choose the "nose" of knowledge. Therefore, in order to get good grades, you must fully digest and understand the knowledge you have learned, select key content, and remember them firmly.

Method 5: Memory by association

When one thing is similar to another, people often associate one thing with the other. Connecting the material to be remembered with things you have experienced will improve your memory.

Improving children's memory is a long-term project that requires persistence. Parents should not be impatient or rush for quick results. Master several methods to improve children's memory, give guidance patiently in their lives, guide them to remember effectively without them realizing it, and allow them to improve their memory in a relaxed atmosphere.
