Is making lists a good way to remember things, and how can you memorise the things on the list?

just re-write it like three times and read it out loud a few times

A few ways i've experimented with..\n\nHypnosis: i tried it, but i fell asleep and didn't get much from it\n\nSay things 11 times: it takes the average human 11 times before their brain memorizes it.\n\nPractice remembering exactly what a picture you looked at saw: I've been doing this for a while, and i must say that i almost have a photographic memory.. i can recite an entire sheet of paper after 1 minute looking at it

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!

you can take notes, just summerize the main ideas of each paragraph or page or chapter depending on how much information your reading. for example, if your reading a 1,000 page book, most people won't remember everything that happened, so the solution is to take notes on maybe each chapter or take note of important things that happened. you can use a graphic organizer or something else to take note of important things in the book.

Sit down, make a list, prioritize that list and start with the first and do not go to the next until you have it done and crossed it off of the list. You will be surprised at how fast you are setting down and making a new list and how fast you get caught up just by doing a few things every day.

well see the doctor but let me tell you the best thing you can do before hand and keep your memory in good shape buy a small notebook and keep an organizer in your purse and every time you have something in mind write it down, that way you wont forget and you keep your brain focused at all time, I already know that if you go to the doc they are going to give you pills and junk to make you think its going to work think about it, your 21 and your to young to have a problem I think you are not focusing on things, the notebook will refresh your brain and memory and after some time you will train your self to remember just give it time and don't forget to write your what to do list everyday, and little things like what people have said to you for your personal reference........ belive me Ive tried it and it works ............Dont stress out to much .........

When I was in college, I would record my lectures or record myself reading my notes.  I would listen to these tapes over and over again. in the car, etc, until I had them memorized.  I would also rewrite my notes the same day I took them down.  This would make them easy for me to read later, and I also would remember them better.  \n\nStudying with a friend and asking each other key questions helps also.

Different people have different ways of memorizing best.  Some people learn best from listening and speaking.  Some people learn best from reading or looking.  Some people learn best from moving, and so on.  Here are some ideas:\nWrite out all the words and their definitions in sentences.\nMake up a dance or a song for each word.\nDraw a colorful chart.\nUse flashcards.\nRecord a tape of yourself saying the words and then listen to the tape repeatedly.

I memorized by going over and over the material, just spending alot of time looking at it.  Also, exactly like someone else said, I have made flash cards from index cards, write the term on one side and the answer on the other.  I would punch a hole in the upper corner and put them on one of those rings that open and clasp shut.

Wow!..Law!!..you need to remember lots of things then..I'm a student myself...but, I believed that if you are really interested with what you are doing, it's easier to understand what you are learning, thus leading to easier to recall it. But, to really test yourself if you really want to have a good memory, you must always test your brain, think!, think!, think!. Our brain are much more better at storing info when compared to computers.\nTry this: Every time you red something, understands it, and try to write it all over again, without looking at the book again...Understand is important, this will help you remember better. I've also been practicing eating beans, make it like once a week, heard that they help improving our memory.

1) do multiplication problems in your head  for 10 minutes before you go to sleep.  \n\n2) Learn three new words   every  other day and spend the\n       next day trying to use them.\n\n3) Use mnemonic devices to remember lists.\n     If you have a list of several items, make a sentence where the first letter of each word corresponds to the first letter of each item in the list.  \n    Example:  the 5 senses are --hearing, smell, sight, taste, touch.   H,S,S,T,T\nYour sentence might be :  He Should Stop Telling Tales.\n4) Practice memorizing states and capitals.  Little by little and every night for a little while.  This will help your concentration\nand will keep your memory active.\nRepetition is the key.\nWhen you have all the states perfected, start on the countries of the world and the periodic chart.\nMemory is like any other skill; you have the ability, but it requires regular practice.\nGood luck!

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.

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.

What I did in College to "memorize" info was make one handwritten sheet front and back of what I felt were the most important things ie: most likely to be on the test. I went over them again and again until I could tell you everything that was on them. To do this I would first take down notes from the text book. I then took my lecture notes and notes from the text and saw the points that overlapped, those are likely the things that will be on the test. I used those overlaps to make my study sheets.\n This method would work well for the 4 subjects that require memory. Limiting it to one sheet front and back makes the amount more doable. Doing it this way you have already added a few more times through the material as well.\n  The best way to feel less overwhelmed by the amount of information that you need to learn is to have a plan as to how you are going to do it.

Try using them in conversation, and don't try to remember too many new words at once.  Gaining contextual familiarity and not overwhelming yourself will help you remember new words.  Good luck!

Basically, anything that exercises your memory skills will help to improve them.\n\nThere are also mental tricks you can do to help yourself. Find ways of associating new things you want to remember with things that are important to you, and particularly if you can find a visualization for it, or relate it to a well known rhyme or song.  If you just meet someone and want to remember their name, try to associate them with someone else you already know by that name, including celebrities, etc.\n\nAs far as physiology goes, eat right, exercise, get at least 8 hours of sleep a night, take multivitamins daily, and - oddly enough - floss daily.  The reason for the last one is that studies have linked cardiovascular health to dental health (which is cause, which is effect?  who knows), and cardio health has been linked to mental acuity.

What?\n\nYou know it depends on muscle memory or music, do you like what you are trying to remember? Is it important. All factors, yo.
