5 special methods to strengthen reading memory!

Think of a book you read more than 3 months ago. How many of the 100 in this book do you remember? According to research, we remember 10 out of 100 what we read and erase 90 out of 100 from our brains. You may want to learn a new language, learn more from the books you read, or be more successful in your educational life. But if 90 out of 100 of what you read will be forgotten after a while, you may not get the success you want. In this blog, we will talk about 5 ways to engrave any information you read in your memory for a long time.

1. Detailed inquiry
You will learn more quickly as you interrogate each new piece of information in detail. A simple "why?" The question will lead you to the conclusion. This way, when you query each piece of information, you will have researched its accuracy and meaning. This will increase your analytical thinking and you will always feel that you are learning.

2. Do not explain new information to yourself
New information you learn becomes more lasting when it is linked to other information you already know. A person facilitates learning by explaining to himself the area in which the new information will be used.

3. Generalization method
Of course, it is very difficult to master all the topics you want to learn. However, if you turn a topic into a meaningful summary of a large body of information, what you learn is more likely to be permanent. Therefore, read, understand and summarize the important parts. The summaries you understand will be easily remembered.

4. Test yourself
Asking yourself questions and trying to remember allows the information to be strongly encoded in memory. Many people do not realize that test experience is more important than reviewing information. This method makes what you know last longer and increases your ability to remember it.

5. Visualize what you learn
If you prefer to watch while working, you are not far from this technique. Visualizing what you read will personalize the information you read. The consistency of what you learn increases as the mental schema information you create connects each other.
