Make a short mnemonic of all points and then try to run it thru ur mind, then it's easier to remember\nfor Network layers of ISO OSI MODEL : \nPHYSICAL-DATA LINK-NETWORK-TRANSPORT-SESSION-PRESENTATION -APPLICATION u can have \n"Please Do Not Throw Salami Pizza Away" an acronym of all points in a sentence with words beginning with these letters.\nThe more u learn to associate things n mnemonics, the more it is easier to remember. \nU v to train that brain of urs, tho.

here are a few tips....\n1. first if you want to remember a list of few things, then try to make a corelation of those. for example, if you want to remember carpet, milk, computer and game, make a story like this....."milk on the carpet spilled when you were playing games on your computer"....\n\n2. say within yourself about the item quiet a few times.\n\n3. one never forgets those items which he likes....so start liking those....\n\n....now....will you remember to give me 10 points....lets see...please...

make sure you are getting enough sleep, especially nights before a big test or project. make sure you are breathing properly, take a walk to make sure your oxygenated blood is getting circulated well, plus it makes you more relaxed so you can concentrate.\nand eat a balanced diet. load up on blueberries, they help our brain function better, it's a fact!\nand take your vitamins:)

I would suggest taking up meditation for the day time. As for going to sleep at night, visualization works very well once you have the hang of it, you can actually use it to trigger sleep, much like an on/off switch. It's like programming your brain to have a specific response to a particular visualization.

though i am offering nothing more than a personal opinion (worth about as much as any other layperson's)i'm going to row against the stream here and say that the rest of the brain is the part capable of things we learn to forget. i have seen young children just "feel" things that are beyond the grasp of older humans. maybe at one point in the past we all used instinct as we now use our senses. the structures are still there, and occasionally they still kick in, but mostly, we learn to rationalize things and think them through so we stop using that part. perhaps we were once able to sense that an earthquake was coming, or see and process two whole sets of visual information, or any number of other lost skills. perhaps in time the brain will evolve new uses for those areas, or even just use them as extra storage.\n\nor perhaps the brain needs the extra space. maybe it's a filler, so the useful parts can be in certain places. maybe padding, so the crucial parts are harder to damage. maybe it's just dissipation space, to keep the electic activity from being too concentrated and shorting our brain. i'm not an expert, but those are some ideas that come to mind.

your mind,  like your body need exercise to function well. a few way to exercises your mind is to some crossword, puzzle, or play common games like solitaire, or chess to sharp your mind. keep on adding, multiplying,and subtracting. Do not depend always in calculator. A least once a week memorize a poem, or joke or a psalm. This will help to keep in mind in shape, and will increase your brain power in time. Learn to think inventively. Let ideas  come forth. A good hint is to think like a child. They think with creativity., wonder and curiosity; allow yourself to daydream,as this will increase your brain power and keep your sharp mind. Do not limit yourself being a one type of person. be many persons! Think as many as ways as you can. keep a pen an a paper in every room of your environment so that when you think an idea  you can jot it down immediately. Do not afraid to making a mistake. Nobody is perfect, and never will be.LEARN FROM YOUR MISTAKES. Do not afraid to a new things. Trying new things let your mind wonder and lets your creativity comes out, and everything that you have practiced will be shown. Talking to your self make it sound silly, but it works!It is a very good memory aid, to help to find something when it is lost etc. Keep closed watch of upcoming events or family gets together. discuss it with family and friends.Tension can interfere with memory, so learn to relax.This will help you think clearly. Good nutrition can also keep the sharp mind. Remember name as many name as you can, and put a face along with a name. this will help your brain power improve. Do not drink to much alcohol, this impairs memory. depression is often a cause of a memory loss. If you depress a medical advice and attention. To spur a creativity talk to encouraging, not discouraging people. The best thing to remember  and live by is to increase your memory and your mind. brainstorm, and write things down as you think of them. study new subject and languages. before bed is good time to do this.Relax, this also need to increase your brain power.read a book, reading helps the mind and memory. Physical exercises is also very good  for the mind. Take a walks. take a new hobby. Have a place to write your yearly, weekly and daily goals. work on and accomplishing them. BRAIN POWER CAN INCREASES AS YOUR DAILY ACTIVITIES INCREASE. DO NOT DEPEND ON OTHER PEOPLE, OR ITEMS SUCH AS CALCULATOR. KEEP YOUR MIND SHARP.

well for drugs gingsing and gingkobiloba i think is the best one, to my knowledge.  but other ways is to use repitition, writing things down, saying them outloud, association like if you can think of your grandson tommy, he plays baseball, you may can associate his name to the sport (just an example, i have no idea if you have any kids or how old you are, lol) mneumonics or something that you could use to remind you to do a certain thing, example feeding the cat, you can buy a little cat key chain or something, or a cheap watch with a cat face and set an alarm to remind you.  post-it notes are the best for me, the bright colored kinds sticking every where! and don't forget the old-wives fav tie a string around your finger.  hope those were some good suggestions, they work for me.

Movement\nRespiration\nSensitivity- i.e. faculties of detection\nGrowth\nReproduction\nExcretion\nNutrition- i.e. eating\n\nYou can remember it with the mnemonic MRS GREN, an apocopated Mrs Green I guess.

Memories that call up emotions, sensations, or other memories.\n\nFor instance, recalling your 7th grade Science Fair may bring back that godforsaken "Wheels Of the Bus" song because you had to listen to it for 4 hours on the way to the Fair.  It could also "bring back" the smell of watermelon gum, because someone put it in your seat and you sat in it on accident and had it stuck on you for the rest of the day.

If you want to train your memory you can use things like peg words and word association in a manner that your memory is forced to work.  There is NOT enough room here to offer everything but I have a memory course which I bought a long time ago that teaches you how to associate things in a funny or violent or zany or sexual manner to remember them.  The theory behind this is that this is what the mind seems to keep as the deepest or most intense of memories.  Also, using sounds to match the numbers 0 to 9 can allow you to remember things like dates and lists and so on.  ONCE you do these training excersises you not only have a few good memory techniques, but your mind actually improves as per its memory because you are "using it" or "excercizing" it. Incidently, if you are wondering about Ginko Biloba or other herbs, there is little evidence to show that this helps the mind - and it is expensive.  If it were cheap, I would say go for it.  Apparently eating fish helps because of the vitamin and mineral and fatty acids in fish.  You should look up health FOOD and MEMORY to see what FOOD (not supplements so to speak) helps keep the brain or mind healthy.

http://www.realmilk.org\n\nBook: "You Mean I'm Not Lazy, Crazy, or Stupid?"\n\nhttp://www.acresusa.com (do some browsing there)\n\nAlso, there are some methods used for mild brain injuries that also help train the brain to do things differently and wake up different sections of the brain. Look for books on MTBI (mild traumatic brain injury).

pen and paper - mostly they write it down. \n\nif they don't I'd guess it's called short term memory or working memory (biologically it involves an increase in the efficiency with which nerve impulses pass across synapses. It does not require any protein synthesis or remodeling of the synapse. )
