Hi,read this article it will help you;

if you are a student struggling to study for a big test, you may soon learn that you will need the help of certain tricks to make your study life easier.  Many students of all ages benefit from learning memory exercises.  Teachers usually try to help their students by suggesting certain exercises that they themselves have used or that they have learned since beginning to teach.

Of course, each person must use whatever appeals to them.  What works for one won’t necessarily work for another.  This lesson has been demonstrated in the simple act of teaching a child to tie a shoe.

Children with learning disabilities must learn constructive methods for improving their memories that are tailored to their own distinct capabilities.  A child who struggles may need to associate certain things with the same colors daily to remember.  Maybe they have certain shapes that help them remember, or smells.  A child who has sight impairment may learn to associate by touch or scent.  Grandma may wear the same perfume every day or Grandpa may wear the same cologne or after shave.

There are times when the teachers have a learning method that is different from the parents’.  When the child asks the parent for help with homework, an argument may develop because the parent will use a different method to get the same result.  Sometimes if the child is taught not to argue with the parent, this could result in a bad mark on the work that is turned in.  This is where consistency and cooperation is successful in the parent/teacher relationship.

Have you ever made up a silly, but rude song about someone who offended you?  This was a great memory exercise, even though it could be construed as mean.  Music is a helpful tool, especially for teaching small children to improve their memories, although it is usually not used in a derogatory way.  Comedians make jokes with rude songs, which often results in the audience remembering the comedian simply because the music acted as a tool to cement the person into memory.  Maybe you don’t even recall the words, but simply the tune, the results are the same.

Rhyming games are a very helpful memory tool.  An endless number of people have grown up enjoying the antics of the characters in Dr. Seuss stories!  Many of the words don’t even make sense and mean nothing in reality.  But they served to help a person remember the story because of the rhyming effect.

The key to memory exercises is repetition.  You must teach yourself to perform the actions over and over.  Like always putting your car keys in your purse so you won’t lose them.  If you have trouble getting your children to school on time because they spend too much time finding their backpack or shoes, have them learn to place the items in the same place each evening.  These little memory tricks are sure to make your boss happy if they get you to work on time each day! you can visit this site for more information http://www.usefulmemoryimprovementguide....

theres loads of brain training games on the web which work better and are free compared to other games!

Answer 4

Buy big brain academy that could help. Other than that play games where you have to remember stuff like pairs. I know it sounds basic but it works.

Answer 5

Eat a lot of fish!  Seriously.

Choline is a major part of fish (it's the chemical that makes that fishy smell), and it's been proven to have substantial benefits for memory.

You can also get memory pills at GNC, but look at the ingredients and one of the big ones is Choline.

It really works.  I took those GNC pills starting a month before I took the IQ exam, and I found it really to memorize things during the test.  (part of the test involves memorization)

My daughter takes Attend that is made by a company named Vaxa.  That product is great.  Vaxa also makes a product called Memorin.  I haven't had experience with this particular product but I do trust Vaxa products in general.  Here is the link.  http://www.vaxa.com/663.cfm

Answer 8

1. Multiple Exposure: Will help your brain have a sense of the information before you study or something.

2. Pay More Attention to More Difficult Information: To be as efficient as possible, we must be aware of information quality changes and act accordingly.

3. Learn What Kind of Learner You Are: We all learn differently. Some of us learn best through visual cues, some through auditory cues, and others through pure hands-on experience.

4. Teach: A great test to tell if you really understand something is to teach it to another person.

5. Relate: Intelligence is the ability to take what you know and relate it to new subjects.

6. Repetition: This is one of the most common memory hacks. When you find yourself trying to remember something, just repeat it to yourself aloud multiple times (if you are an auditory learner) or writing it down multiple times (if you are a more visual learner).

7. Exercise: Getting your heart beating can greatly improve brain functions and brain volume.

8. SLEEP!: Cut out your sleep and you cut out your body’s ability to repair itself.

9. Employ Other Senses: Smell is the sense most closely related to memory. Why not use this knowledge to your advantage and exploit your sense of smell? Next time you are trying to remember a piece of information, take out your nearest aromatic food item and smell it while reviewing the information. Next time you need to remember said information, bring along with you the food item. The smell will help you remember.

10. A Bottle of Red…: Well, maybe not a bottle… One glass will do. Studies show that increased brain activity from crossword puzzles or brain teasers for about an hour followed up with a glass of red wine may help to preserve your memory.

11. Grab A Cup o’ Joe - Caffeine provides a boost to those parts of the brain involved with short-term memory, attention, and concentration.
