So wait.. if moving our jaws and clenching our hands help remember things... is that why we remember movie scenes so well? Eating popcorn = moving the jaw. Grabbing the soft drink from the IMPOSSIBLY SMALL HOLES = clenching hands.
Movie theaters know their shit!
Keeping your jaw busy? Clenching your fist? Maybe thats why girls have better memories… ;)
I'm investigating improving your partnership and discovered a great website at Mirykal Marriage Plan (google it if you are interested)
when I had to memorize trig formulas i substituted salt for sine and carrots for cosine, one example: salt goes on top of carrots = Tangent. just to remember the order.
ever time I do a test I forget what to 😭 I have short term memory
When I remember things, i snap my fingers a couple of times then I say oh yea while I make my fingers into a gun position after I snap them
Thanks
The Animaniacs were great at this... Still remember all the states and their capitols. -- Trace (singing to myself)
Ever notice that you seem to be able to recall the lyrics of songs you listen to while driving? Especially those you sing along to? I did. I Needed to memorize a speech, so i recorded myself and listened to to it and "sang along" with it on my commute for a couple of days, and i still have it memorized to this day.
GOOD ONE! -- Trace
What I was feeling and experiencing at the moment. Tend to pick out details about it that no one else seems to remember.
Sounds like associative learning. If you chew gum while learning something new, you can then chew the same flavor of gum at some point in the future to help you recall the information. This does not only apply to gum, it can be anything that applies to your senses (like sounds and touch).
Couple days ago I was at a lecture of a man who got a guinness record for the best memory, he told that the best way to remember something is to imagine the thing in the weirdest way you can and and then connect the all together to thing you don't need to remember like thing in your house or other things from your every day life.
My brother bought it for me to help feed my nerdly urges. -- Trace
This. You can will yourself to remember something. You still need to refresh that memory or it will fade, but it really does work. It works best though on a single thing or event, it's harder to do when you try to memorize multiple things, as you would for an exam.
The Method of Loci is my personal one for keeping track of things I need to do.
Right on time for the final exam, definitely giving it a try
here is one that always helped me... for every main class that i have i choose a different flavor jolly rancher, i study for math with my favorite (blue raspberry) and take tests while i taste that flavor also. changing the flavor for every single class seems to work for me, it just takes a lot of jolly ranchers x)!
Could you guys maybe do a video on ways to keep your mind strong? People say they do sudoku or crosswords to keep their brain active but have also heard that simply exercising regularly is more beneficial than that. Thanks!
For studying.
Grab Index cards
Write word on the front
On the back the definition
Including a picture to illustrate the word.
saw the clenching of fists one on Dr Oz today :) good job
I pretend to explain the material that I am learning to an imaginary person or crowd. Sounds weird, but hey it works. Ask my grades... :-D
To remember numbers, I try to make as many connections as possible. I'll add, multiply, compare until I have so many connections that even if I can't remember all of the numbers, I can go through the list of connections in a process of elimination until I get it.
When I was in primary school learning to spell I found it hard to spell the word "because" I remembered it by saying in my head Big Elephants Can Always Use Small Exits. It's very easy to spell, but old habits die hard & I still say that phrase in my head every time I spell because.
I remember how many days the months have by a rhyme. The text is something like this (directly translated from Swedish):
"30 days in November,
April, June and September
February 28 alone
All the other 31"
This brings a whole new meaning to ruminating
I've done that a few times. I took mental pictures, and I still have them in my mind, because I just decided to remember them.
from experience, whatever your life involves...you have to have atleast one thing you personally enjoy.
i used the same method as trace to memorize a few names of subway stations when i was super bored on my way to work.
i had a friend who dislocated her jaw from chewing gum too much. granted, she would chew one piece for hours on end, but it has turned me off from chewing gum. plus, i get super hungry from it! also, what if the researchers tested memory retention with subjects in rooms scented with lavender, roses, or other pleasant smells? it just seems so obvious that a nice smelling room would make you remember things better.
Maybe when the brain is doing something with a muscle group while thinking its also stored as muscle memory. When I play piano I can remeber the fingerings easily and notes after looking over the music once. The brain is so cool and mysterious.
1. Is it just me or did that look so much like he was in front of a green screen
2. Comment if you needed to clench your fists either after watching the video or after reading this post
For sure fiddling with your hands helps you think and remember. At least that's what I have noticed with myself.
When I have to memorize a formula for chemistry or calculus I right it out with my opposite hand which is the left hand it really works
When trying to remember diatomic gases, my chem teacher wrote HOFBrINCl on the board, to which I said out loud the phonetic pronunciation of it which sounded like "hoff-brink-el"
That's now the way my chem teacher will be memorizing the gases, along with all my classmates.
I noticed. It was so fetch of him. -- Totally not posted by Trace... Yep. Not at all.
what about feeling like your a failure and inadequate and disrespected/disregarded...feeling like noone gives one... feel empty and alone all the time...and no matter what i do nothing changes ever. feel utterly powerlesw
I have a trick for forgetting painful memories. Simpley push them to the back of your mind all day and then go to sleep you will forget. I would write it down so you can reference it later if need be
because of the sound and manners
This actually worked for me
and i just notice that before test on the last minute i get nervous and i clench my fist repeatedly as a nervous habit but end up memorizing everything in one sitting
rather than when i try to memorize before
Sometimes, when I am listing to the teacher give a definition I think to myself "pillows" and then when I have to remember the definition I remember the pillows and then I instantly remember what the definition was!
My technique is repetition. But the weird thing is that I can't do it by writing whatever it is down over and over again or repeating it in my head. I have to record myself saying it then play it on loop. And I have a slight photographic memory. If I were to look at something, I'll remember what catches my eye, but everything around it will be a blur.
I remember information better if I put it into a song. Just take a familiar tune from the radio, childsong or anything and simply insert the information wher the actual lyrics would go. Then all you need to do is humming the song and the info is popping up :) Rhimes are also good and repeting stuff, over and over. Tedious but effective :) Also, of course, you have to pay attention in order to remember. So easy, yet so hard ;) Hope it can be of any help to someone :)
I remember doing something with my fingers (moving them from pinkie to thumb, over and over) when i wanted to learn something fast from textbooks back in high-school, then when i was on the test i would repeat the movement and some like keywords would pop out in my mind, i would start remember the phrases, the paragraphs, some concept maps, till somehow i would see like an image of the pages i read, as if i reassembled a puzzle each time, and "Re-read them" i dunno that's how my mind works...
K luminosity can help you strengthen your brain, i know because i used it for a month and really improved, although i didn't continue using it as i am a student and needed to put my money else where but yah, so far it is the best brain training program out there and its extremely easy. I hope others who want to get a better brain see this so it can help them, plus a warning if u sign up and then after a month don't do anything they continue to send emails for a year, so watch out.
i did the same thing freshman year high school and I remember that whole day, now im graduating college
wait so do i chew gum while im learning or while im trying to remember what ive learned?
Would these tips help if you suffer from memory problems caused by Multiple Sclerosis? My wife has MS... and she has a TERRIBLE memory. Would this help with converting short term into long term?
I'm not sure, and this is just speculation (someone better informed correct me if I'm wrong) but might chewing gum also help memory as a throwback to hunter-gatherer times. It would make evolutionary sense for the memory to work in a different way when a person is eating, to remember the details of where food was found and the look/feel/smell of the food for future reference?
Has anyone tried Rotogenflux Methods? (google it) We have noticed numerous amazing things about this iq course.
So what do you suggest?
when i want to remember a visual picture of something, i just say "click" like a camera and i remember it.
When i concentrate in something, unconsciously i bite my tongue like it was gum. I dont know if actually my brain figure out that it helps. I saw a teacher of mine doing it and i was surprise. I will like to know if somebody else do it.
how does that have to do with him being happy or not?
Gonna use these tricks to help me study for finals. Hopefully they work.
Would trying to remember something have something to do with clenching your teeth. I have a problem with that sometimes
Have you guys partnered with Microsoft Outlook or something? I get their ads on all of your videos and a few seconds from the end of the ad it looks like there's a D News logo.
THat is quite elaborate Trace.
Keeping the underside of the desks clean are more important to them than your test scores. It's unfortunate, but true.
So if chewing and keeping your hands busy help improve your memory, why does the same not seem to apply when I'm on a date?
I grip my little finger. If it's a key I've to remember where I put it, I hold it with my little finger and place it where I intend to do.
I make anagram mnemonics a lot for lists. I also chew gum when studying for and taking tests, I'm not sure if it works, but maybe there's a placebo effect
You can get it at bustedtees, go to their website for more.
Because people often stick it on the seat and desk bottoms, and because if everyone is chewing on gum at the same time and they chew loudly it's really obnoxious.
ahha! I read that chewing gum improves your memory years ago. And I"m thoroughly convinced it works! This is why I chew gum whenever I study and while I take a test.
How did you remember all of that?! That seems harder than learning the noble gases!
That shirt. I need it!
Are you going to make a video about the "shortest" movie ever?
My trick to remembering things is to remember what I was doing to a start then what I was saying and experiencing. My memory is literaly like a video to me. Btw why can I never remember how it feels to experience confusion or the process of learning something?
I couldn't remember which of "injective" and "surjective" means "one-to-one" and which means "onto", which is horrible considering I have a degree in math. Then someone told me to remember injective corresponds to 1-1 because the the "i" looks like a "1". It's so weird I have no problem remembering it.
As a side note, anyone else slightly annoyed the example of winning a sports match was a boy and that of heartbreak was a girl because that reinforces stereotypes? Am I being oversensitive?
i also walk around or dance around when im trying to remember
sending this to my teacher...
I used all the info and put it all into my science fair project and I got an A on it
+komal sandhu
PLEASE REPY
Constantly walking around in my room while studying helps me remember stuff quicker.
I still remember a nightmare I had when I was 6-8 yrs old. I was being chased by a man with scissors; I was afraid he would slit my throat, but all he did was cut my jeans off.
For the noble gases I remember "Hitler NEver Attacked Kuwait with X-ray RADiation". Came up with that in high school chemistry.
Thanks. I'll use this for the MSP :)
Locked my keys in my office today so I need these tips!
@Jorn Custers That's my question too
this is very useful
I do have a memory problem I think I might have early beginings of senile dementia...it is scary as hell...Or Altzheimers...I am past 65 now too.
Wait, what was this video about again?
Chewed gum while taking my last math test and got a higher grade than usual.
Going to chew gum during my math final today as well :D !!
I chew gum when I work, I feel like I can concentrate easier and I don't get distracted that much.
Anytime I ask someone to help me remember something such as a phone number I always seem to remember it without their help. My brain's way of saying I don't need help
I'm not quite sure. I looked it up and it said that you're not allowed to chew gum in school because it is too loud, buut I don't really 100% agree with that.
Where did you get the nerd shirt?
You guys did an episode similar to this one about doodling. This one's more comprehensive, I think.
I use song and i never forger so i turn hi ni og h ne or kri ze ra in song
I remember me telling myself that i'll remember a moment, but I don't remember the actual moment
Sometimes i remember things without a conscious effort how!?
i don't know
yes, but thats mostly brought about BY the no gum rule. you either admit to chewing gum (which is against the rules) by going and spitting it out, or you swallow it (which is widely regarded as unhealthy), or you can simply stick it under the desk and forget about it. the gum rule doesn't prevent this, if anything it exacerbates the problem. thats not to say that some lazy ass holes would stick it under there just to not have to get up and through it away though.
That's so neat actually
Cool shirt, Trace.
It's probably just annoying to hear the sound of people smacking on it. I hate that too, honestly. >.> It's rude to me, but eh. I think the gum thing is a good idea, though.
Dumb news... memory/thoughts are not created nor are they stored in the brain but from experiences that alter the physical states of the brain that causes a trigger for certain recollections in becoming the desired reaction. Why else do responses vary so vastly upon the individual..
Your shirt. I want it.
just did uni work on this wish i had this a week ago
touching my fingers together helps me to remember stuff
you made me laugh so i subed.
