Speaking of memorizing, I guess many parents have had moments of collapse. They can’t remember a simple sentence or word, and they just can’t recite it after being overwhelmed.
Some parents said that they were furious every time they helped their children check and recite. They wanted to leave it alone many times, but a considerable part of the homework assigned by the teacher was memorizing, and exams were even more inseparable from memorization. They had to accompany their children to read and memorize repeatedly and pass it over and over again.
In the end, the child finally completed the recitation, but his grades still did not improve, which made many parents very distressed.
In fact, children have difficulty reciting because their memory is too poor, and memory can be improved through training. When the child's memory improves, reciting can naturally be easily handled.
So, how to train children’s memory? The following six methods can help children develop the ability to recite without forgetting their memories. Parents should collect it quickly.
stimulates interest and encourages children to actively remember
Generally speaking, memory can be roughly divided into two categories: active memory and passive memory. The biggest difference between
is that active memory can save content more than passive memory. That is to say, when people actively remember, they can remember what they want to remember more quickly.
This explains why academic masters can recite easily, because most of them recite actively, remember consciously, and remember quickly. Those poor students who are reluctant to regard learning as a chore often have a harder time to memorize.
According to this rule, if children can stimulate their interest in learning and encourage them to actively memorize and recite, then their recitation speed will be faster and the time will be longer.
uses situational memory to give the content emotional color
Situational memory belongs to a type of memory, which is equivalent to everyone's "autobiographical record", and stores various events that occur in a specific time and space situation.
Japanese memory master Yoshihiro Ikeda said: "When memory is tied to emotions, memory will become deeper and easier to remember." Situational memory is to give emotional color to the content memorized, so that children can remember it more easily.
文博 teacher gave an example. He asked his son to remember the year when Napoleon died. It was difficult for the child to remember, but when he told Napoleon's life of exile, the child magically remembered that year.
So when children recite, first guide them to understand the content and let them express their feelings about the content, whether they are joy or sad, angry or happy, experience their feelings carefully and remember this feeling. On this basis, they will remember them more firmly.
uses associative memory, add personalized tags to the content
uses the connection between things, and memorizes through association, which is also a very effective way of reciting.
Objective things are interconnected, and various knowledge is also interconnected. When we learn a certain knowledge point, we will inevitably think of other things related to it.
For example, when learning "countdown", you think of the scene of a person standing upside down and his head facing down and his feet facing upside down. The upside down situation is similar to the essence of countdown, so you remember the characteristics of countdown.
links the person's handstand with the countdown. The boring mathematical concept of countdown has a personalized label like "handstand". It is much easier to memorize it than to read the concept dryly.
uses copying and memory, and use high efficiency in both hands and brain
As the saying goes: A good memory is not as good as a bad pen. Copying is one of the best ways to remember. "Copying it by hand is better than reading it ten times" is a practical experience summarized by ancient Chinese scholars.
This is because the human brain is connected to various parts of the body through nerves, and the nerve area responsible for controlling hand movement accounts for 1/3 of the brain. That is to say, more hands are active, and the more stimulation the brain is, the deeper the memory is.
So, it is better to let children copy and read carefully, use hands and brains to memorize the book more efficiently.
Use explanation and memory to sort out and summarize and remember
Let the children explain to their classmates what they want to recite, which is also a good way to consolidate memory.
If children want to explain to others, they must first sort out the information and classify and organize the content, which will force them to understand the content. During the organization, they can discover loopholes in their understanding and supplement and strengthen them in a targeted manner to improve their knowledge system.
In this process, the child naturally strengthens his memory and firmly remembers the knowledge points to memorize.
I remember when I was in junior high school, I often explained political questions to my friends before every major exam. This was the secret to memorizing boring political questions easily and getting high scores in those days.
Use test exercises to promote more effective results in exams
Some children usually look smart and study easily, but their grades are always unable to be the best. There are always various mistakes during the exam. After the exam, they will suddenly realize that they will quickly find the answer.
These children are actually trapped in a memory trap. Because they are smart, they can process information quickly. When reading books, they quickly remember the key points, and think that their brains remember the information, and they will not review it later, and naturally they will not be able to remember it when the actual exam is taken.
To prevent memory traps, the best way is to conduct test exercises. Through tests again and again, wake up the brain, measure whether the brain has truly remembered the information, and then check for omissions and fill in the gaps, so that you can be willing to have a stronger memory.
For example, when we register for a driver's license exam, we often do not only read the textbooks, but instead look for some question banks on websites or mini programs to practice and test, which has better results.
[Conclusion]:
In short, parents should not worry too much about children having poor memory and slow memorization. As long as you use the right method and continue to train, your child's memory will get better and better.
