Forgot your password? Your child's test scores poorly because of difficulty memorizing? It is widely experienced by us. As a result, the more time and energy required to find stuff, got a scolding from others, or have poor results due to the nature of such forgetfulness. The brain's memory will decrease with age. The older age of a person usually they will be increasingly forgetful. However, this can also happen at a young age. This problem can be reduced by training the brain.
In the process of remembering, the brain plays a big role. The brain can be divided into left brain and right brain. Left brain functions associated with logic, numbers, writing, intelligence, calculation, analysis, and for short-term memory (short term memory). Meanwhile, our right brain use for creativity, imagination, music, colors, shapes, emotions, and for long-term memory (long term memory).
Memories will last much longer if the recall using the right brain. To be able to remember well, need to train the brain to function optimally. Unfortunately, more and more people are using left brain in the process of remembering. Most people the left brain is more developed without balanced development of the right brain. Because the left brain is short-term memory, then the information stored in the left hemisphere would be more easily forgotten.
Therefore, if you want to keep in right brain, the information must be changed into a story or picture. Because the right brain does not recognize text or numbers. Exercise is necessary in order to develop the right brain. There are several techniques that can be done.
This technique is done by making a short story of the things that we will memorize. For example we are going shopping at the supermarket to buy rice, shampoo, milk, gum, floor cleaners, egg, soy sauce, cheese, tomato sauce, paper towels. Rather than trying to memorize, the better you make a story for these things to Dewi Sri (the goddess legend that describes the rice paddy) was shampooing (shampoo) with a milk bath. While outside, the Mbok who was chewing gum while mopping (permbersih floor) has prepared an egg flavor soy sauce sprinkled with cheese and tomato sauce is soft like a tissue.
The story actually visualized and imagined. Develop your imagination by adding color, sound, objects and motion supporting the story. For example, imagine a pink bath milk bath where Dewi Sri, imagine the Mbok which are old and gray wear kebaya was mopping the page, listen to the voice chew gum in his mouth, and imagine that you taste the eggs that tasted like soy sauce, egg forms imagine sprinkled with cheese and tomato sauce, and imagine that you can hold the egg and feel the softness of such tissue.
