Improving Your Memory\n\n1) Really think about you want to remember. If you wish to enter information into long-term memory, it is important to think about it. Ask questions about it, consider its meaning, and examine its relationship to information you already know. In other words, engage in “deep processing”. Doing so will help make the new information part of your existing knowledge frameworks – and increase your chances of remembering it at a later time.\n\n2) Pay careful attention to what you really want to remember. Unless you pay careful attention to information you want to remember, it stands little chance of really getting in” – into long-term memory. So, be sure to direct your full attention to the information you want to remember. True, it involves a bit of hard work, but in the long run, it will save you time and effort.\n\n3) Minimize interference. Interference is a major cause of forgetting, and, in general, the more similar materials are, the more likely they are to produce interference. In practical terms, this means that you should arrange your studying so that you don’t study similar objects one right after the other. Instead, work on subjects that are unrelated: the result may be less interference between them, better grades.\n\n4) Engage in distributed learning/practice. Don’t try to cram all the information you want to memorize into long-term storage at once. Rather, if possible, space your studying over several sessions – preferably several days. This is especially true if you want to retain the information for long periods of time rather than just the next examination.\n\n5) Use visual imagery and other mnemonics. You’ve probably already heard the saying ‘a picture is worth a thousand words’. Where memory is concerned, this is sometimes true; it is often easier to remember information associated with vivid mental images (e.g., Gehrig & Toglia, 1989). You can put this principle to use by adopting any one of several different mnemonics – tactics for improving memory. One of these, the method of loci, involves linking points you want to remember with visual images arranged in some familiar order. For instance, suppose you want to remember the points in a speech you will soon be delivering. You can imagine walking through some familiar place, say, your own home. Then, form a series of images in which each item you wish to remember is placed in a specific location. Perhaps the first point is “The greenhouse effect is real”. You might imagine a large, steamy greenhouse right outside your front door. The next point might be “Cutting down the rain forest is increasing the greenhouse effect”. For this one, you might imagine a large, cut down tree in your living room. You would form other images, in a different location, for the other points you want to make. Then, by taking an imaginary walk through your house, you can “see” each of these images and thus remember the points in your speech.\n\n6) Give yourself retrieval clues. Remember the concept of state-dependent retrieval? As noted previously, you can use this principle to provide yourself with extra retrieval cues and so help enhance your memory. For instance, if you studied for a test while in a physical state, try to be in the same state when you take it – this may help. Similarly, use the principle of mood-dependent memory. If you learned some material while in a given mood and then want to remember it, try to put yourself in this same mood. This is not as hard as it may sound: you can often vary your own mood by imagining happy or sad events. To the degree that your mood now matches your mood when you learned the information, your memory may be enhanced for it.\n\n7) Develop your own shortcut codes. To learn the names of the planets in our solar system, many children use the first letter technique, in which the first letter of each word in a phrase stands for an item to be remembered. So, the sentence “Mary’s Viol

Only solution to this is to get more working memory.  You can buy it, go to Walmart or Best Buy and tell them what you need.  It's really just about your only option.  Sorry!

Well it depends on if you want to improve your long term memory or your short term memory - they're separate entities.  I suggest looking into some psychology texts in your local library.\n\nMemory is all about practise - it's like learning your times tables when you're young.  Repetition is a good way to do it, but is more suited to memorising something specific.\n\nRemove as many outside distractions as possible when trying to learn something, or else your focus will be split in several directions.

#1.Tho' scientists don't know why, gingko biloba supplement does seem to help, it was observable in Alzheimer's patients. \n#2. Solving puzzles like crosswords and anagrams daily keeps the brain active and stimulated, an important part of the memory remaining functional.\n#3. Tests have shown that a moderate amount of exercise, like walking, daily has a very beneficial effect on memory.\n#4. Use your brain and your memory actively, as much as you can on a daily basis. This really is a case of use it or lose it.\n\nFinally #5. Try to avoid damaging your hippocampus, the part of your brain where memories are mostly made

Memory power can be increased by a very simple method....daily before going to bed recall what happened in that day this will help you to delete few unwanted thoughts in your mind....avoid unwanted things ..that is dont stress on too much when you know a thing is crap...if you are asking it for a exam point of view..then 10 days before  the exam dont watch any video including your tv soaps and news.....because video tends to erase what you learnt if you want to un wind ....listen to music ......this way you can save space  in your mind...for you to fill half the time memory is lost due to deletion of the stuff from mind....therefore try this out it will surely work..

Most research suggest that sleep might be the best remedy. That does not mean that you need to sleep 10 hrs a day. Just find the right balance for you. If you have the luxury to do so, go to bed at the same time every night and dont use an alarm. Your body will wake itself up when it needs to. Try to keep a regular routine so that your body does not over tire any day. Soon you will know how much sleep you need to get good rest and improve memory.\nAlso....drink loads of water and have a hearty breakfast\nCheers

pull allnighters, take lots of caffeine, kill the tv and computer and phone, and most importantly take aderol or some equivalent anti-ADD (attention deficit disorder) prescription drug ---this stuff makes ur brain a sponge. oh and don't forget to use study guides and your notes/textbook.

You can improve your memory in many ways.  For your particular case it is important to know what the cause of a declining memory is.  Is it lack of mental stimulation, lack of appropriate diet, exercise, or perhaps even depression.\n\nMany of the things listed before me are good recommendations.  But the thing that you can do to make your memory stronger is to exercise it.  In other words, lift mental weights.  You could even do that here on Yahoo answers.  Find questions other people have that you would also like to know the answer to and look up the information and answer the question for that person.\n\nGood luck.

One of the most sure way of increasing the percentage of brainpower you use (not neccesarry regarding to what we define as intelligence) is to use the age old technique of the East : Meditation. Performing Yoga under supervision, can also be very rewarding in this aspect. However, it has to be done carefully, as too much of either can have devastating results. So, good luck.

It's important to remember the pressing things in life, as well as the beautiful moments of the past. Here are a few simple methods which you can use to improve your memory.\n\n\n1. Put black ink at the end of your palm to remember any important thing for the next day or for that day itself. Whenever you see the black dot, you'll remember what to do.\n2. Visualize whatever you have to do as part of something you see every day. For example, if you have to give your dog some medicine, visualize your dog in your fridge every time you walk past it or look inside. This will keep your dog fresh in your mind.\n3. Write the event or task down immedietely. If you don't have a pen, one thing you can do is change the time on your watch; later on you will remember why it is set at the wrong time.\n4. Write in a diary or journal every day without fail. Even small issues should be written down -- this is a good way to make sure you don't miss anything.\n5. Leave yourself a telephone message reminding yourself of important "to do" tasks.

The virtual memory is the what is used when your RAM is full, or otherwise used. The data stored there is already processed, but not in use. It's actually inefficient, compared to more RAM. \n\n   If you have quite a bit free space, but the message still appears, follow these instructions:\n\n1. Go to the Control Panel. On the Start Menu for Windows XP, or Start Menu/Settings for Windows 95/95, ME and 2000 users. \n\n2. Click on the System icon. \n\n3. Change to the Advanced tab, and then click the Settings button under Performance. \n\n4. Click on the Advanced tab on the window that opens, then click on the Change buttong in the Virtual Memory section. \n\n5. From there, you can increase the numbers to a reasonable amount, such as 750 on Initial and 1150 on Maximum.

Repetition does not guarantee memorization. Do you remember poems or speeches you had to give from memory in high school? I don't. The best way to improve memory is to associate the item with as many things as you can think of. Anything, sights, sounds, smells, words, feelings. The more the better. Saying it and hearing yourself say them is also important. But all in all, if you don't use it regularly, it will soon be relegated to your mental trash bin.

10 Steps to Improve Your Memory\n\nGET ON TRACK TO A BETTER MEMORY\n\nUnderstand How Your Memory Works \n\nUnderstanding how memory works will give you insight into ways of taking control in order to increase your memory power. A summary of the major factors involved in memory functioning: \n\n• Memory is the process of registering, consolidating, storing, and recalling information and also is the result of that process. \n\n• Memory is an electrochemical process of the brain and nervous system in which specialized brain centers receive, consolidate, store, and respond to new information.\n\n• The more memory traces you amass from sensory experiences, thoughts, feelings, and actions, the more ways you have to recall a particular piece of information.\n\n• A stimulating environment makes a major contribution to improving your memory.\n\n• People learn incidentally in the process of living and intentionally through deliberate study.\n\n• New information becomes a memory by moving from sensory memory to short-term memory. There working memory creates the connections to consolidate it into long-term memory.\n\n• Memory contains two kinds of material: knowledge—both general and personal—and procedures. Procedures do not require conscious attention in order to function.\n\n\nEquip Your Memory Tool Chest\n\nNatural abilities which you can use to maintain and improve your memory are: \n\nsensory awareness\nmental images\nwords and messages\nmaking associations and connections\ngrouping \nrepetition\nrehearsal and review\nspacing\nusing memory aids as reminders\n\nSensory awareness involves collecting information from your senses to amass the memory traces which help you remember people, places, or events. \n\nMental imaging is to visualize in your mind an image of something or someone you want to remember. \n\nWords can be used to help you remember in a number of ways. Talking to yourself creates verbal memory traces. Acronyms, rhymes, or jingles may help jog your memory.\n\nMaking new connections is the process which relates new information to what you already know thereby making the new information easier to recall.\n\nSorting and grouping are ways of categorizing data to provide memory traces to aid in recall. Relationships among major groups and among the items in each subgroup create the connections which make all items memorable.\n\nRepetition helps you to hold information in your short term memory as your working memory organizes and integrates it into long term memory. \n\nRehearsal and review, both reinforced by repetition, help you to remember tasks or events that will take place in the future and to recall information or events from the past. \n\nSpacing is the practice of leaving intervals between learning sessions in order to reinforce memory traces.\n\nMemory aids are concrete reminders—notes, calendars, pill safes—which help you remember. Other people may also be effective memory aids if they have ways of remembering to remind you.\n\n\nFind the Motivation and Commit Yourself\n\nImproving your memory relies on motivation. When people are motivated, they pay attention and concentrate in order to consolidate what they are experiencing into lasting memories. When people are motivated, they often set goals.\n\nWe are motivated by seven urges which push us toward goals. These urges are: the urge to live, with goals of survival, comfort, and to find meaning in living; the urge to be free with a goal of self-determination; the urge to enjoy with a goal of happiness; the urge to understand with a goal of knowledge; the urge to create with a goal of originality; the urge to connect with a goal of love; and the urge to transcend with a goal of unity.\n\nYour goals for your memory project are determined by your goals for your life. In looking at the natural urges of all of us, you may choose to set goals related to your health or your lifestyle habits or you may decide to find greater meaning in the events an
