People like to joke that the only thing you really “learn” in school is how to memorize. As it turns out, that’s not even the case for most of us. If you go around the room and ask a handful of people how to memorize things quickly, most of them will probably tell you repetition.

That is so far from the truth, it’s running for office. If you want to memorize something quickly and thoroughly, repetition won’t cut it; however, recalling something will. The problem is that recalling something requires learning, and we all learn in different ways. Below are some universal steps to mastering the art of recalling so that you can start memorizing a ton of data in a short amount of time.

Before we start, you need to establish something: are you an auditory, visual, or experiential learner? If you’re an auditory learner, then the most effective way for you to grasp information is by hearing it. As you can imagine, visual learners favor seeing something in order to learn it, and experiential learning types are more akin to learning from events and experiences (or, doing something with the material). Most of us are a combination of at least two of these categories, but I will denote which step is most favorable to your most agreeable learning style so that you can start to memorize things quickly and efficiently.

Step 1: Preparation
To optimize your memorization session, pay close attention to which environment you choose. For most people, this means choosing an area with few distractions, though some people do thrive off of learning in public areas. Figure out what is most conducive to your learning so that you can get started.

Next, start drinking some tea. I could link you to mounds of scientific studies that confirm green tea as a natural catalyst for improving memory. Mechanically speaking, our ability to recall information comes down to the strength between neurons in our mind, which are connected by synapses. The more you exercise the synapse (repetition), the stronger it is, resulting in the ability to memorize.

As we get older, toxic chemicals will damage our neurons and synapses, leading to memory loss and even Alzheimer’s. Green tea contains compounds, however, that block this toxicity and keep your brain cells working properly a lot longer.

Step 2: Record What You’re Memorizing
This is especially useful if you’re trying to memorize information from a lecture. Use a tape recorder to track all of the acquired facts being spoken and listen to it. If you’re trying to memorize a speech, record yourself reading the speech aloud and listen to yourself speaking. Obviously, this is most helpful for auditory learners, but it’s also handy because it ensures that you’re getting more context from a lecture that will help you learn the information faster.

Step 3: Write Everything Down
Before you start trying to recall everything from memory, write and re-write the information. This will help you become more familiar with what you’re trying to memorize. Doing this while listening to your tape recorder can also help you retain a lot of the data. This is most useful for experiential learners.

Step 4: Section your notes.
Now that you have everything written down in one set of notes, separate them into sections. This is ideal for visual learners, especially if you use color coding to differentiate between subjects. This will help you break everything down and start compartmentalizing the information being recorded in your brain.

Step 5: Apply repetition to cumulative memorization
For each line of text, repeat it a few times and try to recall it without looking. As you memorize each set of text, be cumulative by adding the new information to what you’ve just learned. This will keep everything within your short-term memory from fading. Keep doing this until you have memorized that section and you are able to recall the entire thing. Do not move on to another section until you have memorized that one completely. This is mostly visual learning, but if you are speaking aloud, then you are also applying auditory.

Step 6: Write it down from memory
Now that you can recall entire sections, write everything down from memory. This will reinforce everything you just have just learned by applying it experientially.

Step 7: Teach it to someone (or yourself)
The most effective method for me when I was in school was to teach the information to someone else. You can do this in a variety of ways. You can lecture the knowledge to someone sitting right in front of you (or the mirror, if you can’t convince anyone to sit through it) and explain everything extemporaneously. If what you’ve learned needs to be recited verbatim, then do this in front of someone as well in order to get a feel for what it will be like to recite the text to the intended audience.

My favorite method for this is creating tests for other people. Take the information and predict what questions will come out of them. Use multiple choice, matching and so on to present the data in test format, and see how someone else does. All of this is experiential learning, since you are actually practicing and manipulating the concepts you’ve learned.

Step 8: Listen to the recordings continuously
While doing unrelated tasks like laundry or driving, go over the information again by listening to your tape recordings. This is certainly auditory learning, but it will still supplement everything you’ve shoved into your short-term memory.

Step 9: Take a break
Finally, let your mind breathe. Go for a short time without thinking about what you just learned and come back to it later on. You’ll find out what you really know, of course, and this will help you focus on the sections you might be weakest at.

人们喜欢开玩笑说，你真的""在学校学习的唯一的事是如何记忆。事实证明，这甚至不是我们大多数人的情况。如果你绕着房间，问有一小撮人如何快速记住的事情，大部分人可能会告诉你重复。这是毫无道理，它运行了办公室。如果你想记住的东西迅速和彻底，重复不会削减它;然而，回顾的东西会。问题是，回顾的东西需要学习，和大家学习以不同的方式。下面是一些通用的步骤，掌握艺术的回顾，你可以在短时间内记忆大量的数据。在我们开始之前，您需要建立的东西: 你是听觉、 视觉，或经验的学习者?如果你是听觉学习者，你要掌握信息最有效的方法就是通过听它。正如你所想象的视觉型学习者青睐学习它，看到的东西和体验式学习类型有更多类似的事件和经历学习 (或做某事与材料)。我们大多数人都是组合的至少两类，但我将表示哪一步是最有利于你最令人愉快的学习风格，你可以开始背东西，快速高效。步骤 1: 准备若要优化您的记忆会话，密切注意到环境的选择。对于大多数人来说，这意味着选择面积少的干扰，虽然有些人做从学习在公共领域中茁壮成长。搞清楚什么是最有利于你的学习，这样你就可以开始。接下来，开始喝点茶。我可以将您链接到成堆的科学研究证实绿茶作为改善记忆的天然催化剂。机械地讲，我们能够回忆信息归结为力量在我们的脑海，神经元之间的突触连接。你越锻炼突触 (重复)，它是越强，因而能够记住。随着我们年龄的增长，有毒的化学物质会损害我们的神经元和突触，导致记忆丧失，甚至痴呆。绿茶中含有的化合物，但是，，阻止这一毒性和保持你的脑细胞正常工作更长时间。第 2 步: 记录你的记忆这是特别有用的如果你想要记住信息从一个讲座。使用一台磁带录音机来跟踪所有获得的事实讲和听听它。如果你想要记忆一篇演讲，记录自己朗读的语音，听听自己说话。显然，这是对于听觉学习者来说，最有帮助，但它也很方便，因为它可以确保你正在更多上下文从一个将帮助您了解信息更快的讲座。第 3 步: 写下任何东西你开始尝试回忆一切从内存之前，写，重写信息。这将帮助你成为更熟悉你想记住什么。做这一边听你的录音机也可以帮助你保留了大量的数据。这是最有用的经验学习者。第 4 步: 第一节您的笔记。现在，你有一切都写在一系列的笔记，把他们分成部分。这是理想的视觉型学习者，尤其是如果你使用颜色编码来区分学科。这将帮助您打破一切并开始划分被记录在你的大脑中的信息。第 5 步: 将重复应用于累积的记忆为每个文本行中，重复几次，试着回忆它不看。通过将新信息添加到您刚才学习了，你背诵每个组的文本，会累积。这会使一切都在你的短期记忆中褪色。坚持做下去，直到你记住了那部分了，你能够回忆起整个事情。不要打开时移动到另一个节直到你完全记住了那个。这主要是视觉学习，但是如果你大声说话，然后你也正在应用听觉。第 6 步: 写下来从内存现在，你可以记得整个章节，把事情写从内存。这将加强你只是刚学了采用经验上的一切。第 7 步: 教给某人 (或自己)我在学校的时候的最有效方法是向别人传授的信息。你可以在各种方式。你可以说教给某人坐在面前你 (或镜像，如果你不能说服任何人都可以通过它坐) 知识和即兴解释一切。如果你学过的东西需要逐字记录，背诵然后这样做前面有人也是为了获得感觉什么它将像背诵文本与目标受众。我最喜欢的方法为其他人创造测试。以信息和预测问题会是他们。使用多个选择，匹配，所以测试格式显示数据，看看别人怎么做。所有这一切都是体验式学习，因为你实际上在练习和你学会了操纵的概念。第 8 步: 不断听录音虽然做不相关的任务，如洗衣或驾驶，信息再讲一遍的听你的磁带录音。这是当然的听觉学习，但它仍然会补充你已经推到你的短期记忆的一切。第 9 步: 休息一下最后，让你呼吸的思想。去而不去想你只是学到了，后来回到它的短时间。你会发现你真正所知道的当然，和这将帮助你专注在节上，你可能是在最弱。

人们喜欢开玩笑说，你在学校唯一真正的“学习”是如何记住。事实证明，这对我们大多数人来说都不是这样的。如果你到房间里去，问几个人怎么快速地记住东西，他们中的大多数人可能会告诉你，这是迄今为止的事实，它正在运行的办公室。如果你想快速而彻底地记住某一点，重复就不会减少它；然而，回顾一些事情。问题是，回顾一些需要学习的东西，我们都以不同的方式学习。下面是一些通用的步骤来掌握的艺术，回顾，这样你就可以开始记一吨的数据，在一个很短的时间内，在我们开始，你需要建立一些：你是听觉，视觉，或体验学习者吗？如果你是听觉学习者，那么最有效的方法是你掌握信息是听它。正如你所能想象的，视觉学习者喜欢看到一些东西，以学习它，和经验学习类型更类似于学习的事件和经验（或，用物质做某事。我们中的大多数人是一个组合的至少两类，但我会为这一步是最有利于你的最令人愉快的学习方式，你可以开始背东西的速度和效率。

步骤1：准备
优化你的记忆环节，狠抓环境你选择。对于大多数人，这就意味着选择一个有干扰的区域，虽然有些人在公共领域学习的不多。找出什么是最有利于你的学习，这样你就可以开始。我可以把你和科学研究的一个科学研究结合在一个科学研究中，证实绿茶是一种改善记忆的天然催化剂。机械地说，回忆信息的能力是我们大脑中的神经元之间的力量，这是由突触连接的。你锻炼的越多（重复），就越强，产生记忆能力。当我们变老时，有毒化学物质会损害我们的神经元和突触，导致记忆丧失，甚至导致老年痴呆症，这会阻止这种毒性，让你的大脑细胞正常工作更长的时间。2：记录你的记忆-这是特别有用的，如果你想从一个讲座的信息。用录音机来跟踪所有被说的，听它的。如果你想记住一个演讲，记录自己大声朗读，听自己说。很显然，这对听觉学习者来说是很有帮助的，但它也很方便，因为它保证了你从一个演讲中得到更多的信息，这将有助于你更快地学习信息。这将有助于你变得更加熟悉你所要记住的。在听录音机的同时也可以帮助你保留大量的数据。这是最有用的体验式学习者。步骤4：部分你的笔记。现在你把所有的东西都写在一组笔记中，把它们分成几段。这是视觉学习者的理想选择，特别是如果你使用颜色编码来区分主题。这将帮助你打破一切下来开始划分信息被记录在你的大脑中。

步骤5：运用重复累积的记忆
每行文字，重复了几次，试图去回想不看。你记住每一组文本，把你刚学到的信息添加到你所学的东西中，是累积性的。这会让你的记忆中的一切都在褪色。一直这样做，直到你记住了这一段，你就能够回忆起整个事情。在你背上一个完整的部分之前，不要继续到另一个部分。这主要是视觉学习，但如果你是大声说话，然后，你也会应用听觉。6：写下来，从记忆中，现在，你可以记得整个部分，写下从内存中的一切。这会加强你只是刚刚通过经验学到的一切。

步骤7：教给别人（或自己）
我最有效的方法时，我在学校是教信息给别人。你可以用各种方式来做这件事。你可以讲的知识，有人坐在你面前（或镜子，如果你不能说服任何人坐过）和解释一切即兴。如果你学到的东西需要背诵，一字不差，然后在某人面前做这件事，以获得一种感觉，这将是什么，这将是想背诵的文本到预定的观众。以信息和预测什么问题将走出他们。使用多种选择、匹配等方式，将数据以测试格式呈现，然后看别人怎么做。所有这一切都是体验式学习，因为你实际上是在练习和操作你所学过的概念。第二步8：听录音，连续做无关的任务，如洗衣服，开车，听录音，听录音。这当然是听觉学习，但它仍然会补充你所进入的短期记忆中的所有东西。很短的时间去不去想你刚刚学到的东西，然后再回来。你会发现你真正知道的，当然，这将有助于你专注于你可能是最弱的部分。
