What’s the talk mainly about? [originaltext] Some of the most practical less

Some of the most practical lessons coming out of research in psychology are the area of memory. People ask, why can’t I remember that term from the physical charge or the library books in due? Of a lot of people, memory may be weak, because they don’t use it enough. It’s like a muscle if you don’t exercise it, it won’t get strong. That’s why it’s important to keep our mind active, to keep on learning throughout our life, we can do this by reading, playing memory game and seeking out new experiences. It’s my guess though that the lack of mental stimulation isn’t a problem for students like you. More likely, the life you’re in is so busy and stimulating that it’s itself may sometime interfere with learning, later on we will be discussing how information is recorded from memory. But, first, the information needs to be recorded, in other words, learned. And for busy people like you and me, that will be the real problem off the lines. If we are distracted, or we are trying to think what we are going to do next, the incoming message just might not be getting recorded effectively~ And that leads to the first tip for students who want to improve their memories. Give your full attention to the information you hope to retain. Research clearly shows the advantages of this, and also of active learning, of consciously trying to visualize a new fact, perhaps to make a mental picture, even a wildly ridiculous one, so the new fact will stick in memory. Let me illustrate that for you here a little more concretely.
