[1376968849] Memory

No.59201 View ViewReplyOriginalReport
Remember

Here's how the memory works and some tips on what you can do to improve yours.

Back in 1956, psychologist George A. Miller's research revealed that the average human can hold only about seven items in mind at any one time. This natural limitation explains why we have developed techniques, or 'mnemonics', to help us extend our memory.

Here are some examples:

Spelling mnemonics: Remember how to spell tricky words, by creating sentences with words whose first letter 'spell out' the word in question - RHYTHM: Rhythm Helps Your Two Hips Move.

Numeric mnemonics: To remember numbers, use sentences whose words have the number of letters corresponding to the number itself- a sentence to help us recall the value of pi (3.141592) might be 'How I wish I could calculate pi'.

Acrostics: Use the first letter of each word you are trying to remember to make a sentence - 'My Dear Aunt Sally' would help us recall the order of mathematical operations: Multiply and Divide before you Add and Subtract.

Rhyming mnemonics: 'Thirty days hath September, April, June and November.'

Chunking: Break down long numbers. So 04711998 might break down to 04 71 19 98. Meaningful number combinations are even better: you might recast the number as 04 71 (the month and year I was born) and 1998 (the year our son was born).

Pete : "I'M TRYING TO MEMORISE A SPEECH FOR TOMORROW NIGHT'S ANNUAL DINNER AT THE UNIVERSITY."

Hayley : "PLAY A MEMORY GAME."

Pete : "WHAT, LIKE..."

Hayley : " "I WENT TO THE SUPERMARKET AND BOUGHT AN APPLE." THEN THE NEXT PERSON SAYS, "I BOUGHT AN APPLE AND A BANANA", AND SOON?"

OH, IS THAT HOW YOU PLAYED?

MY SISTER AND I WOULD ALWAYS BUY MUCH MORE ... EPIC GROCERIES.

LIKE - "I WENT TO THE UPER-MARKET OF DOOM AND I BOUGHT THE APOCALYPSE, BEELZEBUB, CTHULU ... A DIMENSION ... " "

[1380780592] Japanese Word Search Question

Let's say I look up "ちば." The program I have (zkanji, in case you're curious) gives results for ちば, ちばん, ちばけん, ちばなれ, and ちばしる, but I want something that doesn't just find ちば at the beginning of words, but any part of the word, so I can have results like "いちばん." Can you help me out?
