I keep a small notebook handy to write things down.  I find that just writing something down reinforces it in my mind.  I use Centrum multi-vitamins.

Here are some tips that work best for me.  Hopefully they will work for you too.\n\nIf you have one exam to study, divide the work up into small "chunks".  This will improve your chance of remembering the information.  Study for only about an hour at a time.  Often times if you study past an hour, the information will be a big blur and difficult to comprehend and remember.  You may always study more, but give yourself a break.\n\nIf you have more than one exam, follow the tips above.  Just make sure you are studing all of the subject areas everyday.\n\nHope that helps,\n\nAlex

Blackberry Sage Tea, Peppermint Tea...both help. Bananas (Potassium) helps.Ginkgo Baloba. Ginkgo Baloba is expensive, if it is quality, but it does help with memory loss and retention. \n\nAlso, I would start taking a high octaine multivitamin...like Alive Multivitamins. They usually help with all around functioning. Maybe your memory loss is a nutritional deficiency, which Alive will fix.

Only way to learn fast is to be cool and composite, plan in well advance, try to discuss with friends and try to create a photographic memory because that lasts longer.  Get some time to relax and take some time off from daily activities.  When you learn try to create some links with that what you want to remember.  Get a sound sleep, worrying about anything makes you more vulnerable of forgetting.

Write it down, then repeat it over and over at least seven times.  Close your eyes and try to visualize what you are trying to memorize.  Associate it with a picture, color, or person, anything that may help you recall.

Concentration issues stem from numerous things. Too much caffeine, being ADD, or vitamin deficiencies can all cause you to not perform at your best.\n\nI recommend taking at the very least, one multivitamin a day to start. Also, regular exercise has proven to increase bloodflow to the brain which, in turn, increases memory retention. Finally there are a number of activities which help as well, I'll list a few here:\n\n- Crossword puzzles are very good for maintaining mental health.\n- Mental association exercises. You will need to get a book or do further research on this one. But there are mental tricks you can use to remember names, lists of objects, and so on. For instance, I use a name association to remember people's names. I think of some outstanding feature of a person when I meet them and integrate it (mentally) with their name. That and I repeat the name a few times in conversation. That is just one item though.\n- There are also a new breed of drugs hitting the market. Do a search for "smart drugs" or nootropics. This is a strange area but some people swear by the stuff and I wouldn't be surprised if it really booms in the next few years.

It depends on our individual make-up.  Some of us can remember a whole whole lot of what we're told.  Some can remember very little.  It depends on learning styles too.  Some people learn by seeing, some by touching, some by hearing.  Where does it come from?  Somewhere in our brains, but I can't tell you exactly where.

Memory is linked to emotional/personal value (think about your clearest memories...usually there's intense sensory or emotional stuff going along with it). Depending on what you want the student to remember, bringing in music, dance, games such as hand clapping patterns, etc. all can help tremendously. Repetition is a big key, too, for fact recall, so drill, drill, drill!

When you are young, you shouldn't need to eat anything in particular to make your memory strong. You naturally have a good memory.\n\nIf you tell yourself that you don't have a good memory, you won't have. The mind is very literal, like a computer. So try telling yourself you have a  good memory. That's all you have to do.\n\nI don't think that any of the foods you mention have anything that will help your memory - but if you want to choose one, then choose milk, because it is very good for you.\n\nFor some people, chocolate can make skin problems worse (I know this is very unfair as chocolate is so delicious!!)\n\nHoney is better for you than chocolate. So my advice is, eat lots of fresh fruit with milk and honey, and you will be a lovely healthy girl!!

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

Make sure you eat well (particularly low GI food, as it will give you a boost over an extended period rather than something like chocolate which picks you up for 5 minutes and then dumps you again worse than you were before!).  Drink plenty of water, eat regularly, Bananas are supposed to be brain food, as is anything containing lots of Vitamin B.\n\nDon't stay up late, make sure you sleep well (8 hours a night!).\n\nApparantly Co Enzyme Q10 is supposed to help things like memory, as is Gingko and Ginseng - I find that two latter things make me hyper, but it is different for everyone!

I think fish oil is supposed to help your memory.  I took my boards a week ago and drank fish oil before the test; and I think I did well.

trust me this works...most people have a much better visual memory then a mental one...what you need to do is get a blank sheet write all the words down so in a way that you can see it in your head, ie. different sizes, font, alphabetical or in groups or whatever, then look at the page, memorise how its laid out close your eys picture it then write it out on a new sheet, do this till you can do it right without referring, time consuming but you'll get full marks...as soon as you get into the test (if its written) justy write down your memory sheet on a piece of paper and you'll have all the answers

Just sit back a moment...maybe even get up for a few minutes and come back. I think your brain should be rejuvenated now. Come back and focus on the thing you need to get memorized. Say it out loud works for me, along with writing and trying to write from memory. If it's not important to get word for word down, write out what's important.\n\nIt's also helpful to break things down in paragraphs, one point at a time. When one is memorized, move on to the next, and review.

just 3? my mom gives me 6 or 7 everyday.. and there is nothing good abt my memory.. being in college i gotta learn stuff and eating almonds doesnt help! but i eat them anyways to make her happy.. i think you should make a list of things what you need to do as and when they come up.. keep it handy and add stuff to it. or set reminders on ur cell phone.. making lists really help as the only thing you need to remember is where you kept the list.
