Mind stimulation is one of the best ways that you can improve your memory in the long run, and this is something you need to do on a daily basis. One of the main reasons why people do suffer from long term memory loss is because they allow themselves to be imprisoned by their mundane and sometimes monotonous life. This can sometimes be because of the sort of jobs they are holding, or even because of their very own lifestyle.

The culture that they are exposed to at home and at work is very important because it can lead them to become someone who is prone to memory loss. Once the mind finds no stimulation at all, then there is a problem, and to overcome and improve memory, you need to have some sort of mental stimulation. This can be in the simplest form of a crossword puzzle or even something as unconventional as a video game.

The second tip, and one of the best ways that science has proven to aid in long term memory loss is learning a new language. Learning a new language is not just a mental activity that stimulates the memory, it forces it to be in a state where it has to remember all the time, because you are learning a new language. If your brain has been stuck in a state of mental complacency and forgetfulness for a long time, then learning a new skill like a new language will mould it into a shape and stimulate the correct neurons to be able for it to remember much better.

Once you are in the habit of remembering things to learn and things to remember, this will be applied to everything else in your life. This has been proven in neuropsychological tests all over the world and is becoming part of mental therapy to help people with serious memory loss. It can also be the solution that aids you from getting permanent memory loss, especially in your old age.

Last but not least, one of the best ways for you to do so is to take brain food. One of the neuro-scientific causes that has been proven to contribute to memory loss is the death of brain cells in the brain, more specifically, within the billions of neurons in the cortex. Brain food, supplementation and the correct vitamins will stave this off and you need to start early, because science has proven that the death of the brain cells can start as early as the high 20’s and the early 30’s. Vitamin B and the complex B vitamins have been found particularly good with staving off memory retardation.

So, these are some of the ways on how to improve memory in the long run, and you need to be able to know how to do this. There are some great guide books out there with specific methodologies and advice, within these categories on how you can improve your memory for life. Why lose all the precious memories of your life? Start taking the necessary measures to improve your memory for the long run today.

For a lot of people out there, there is no stopping memory loss once they start to mature in their age, and this becomes even more noticeable as they slip past the ages of 40 and get well into their 50’s. The thing is, the science behind this is so advanced that the patterns of age related short term memory loss can be detected sometimes as early as the 20’s and the 30’s of the particular individual, and this is achieved through the use of neuropsychological testing in the environment of a hospital. Of course, you need to be aware that this sort of pattern is commonly found within the family, and if you have both and all grandparents or relatives beyond the ages of 50 who have been suffering from short term memory loss.

The thing is, this is common for everyone, it is just the different degrees in which memory and other mental and physical faculties’ sort of degenerate as age catches up with us. You can compare this quite easily to things like physical and athletic abilities, which peaks around adulthood and slowly slips away when we reach our mature years. However, science has proven that there is no such thing as universal age related short term memory loss; which means that all aspects of memory will slip away as age becomes a factor. In fact, the ailment is quite specific in a sense that some memories and some aspects of remembrance will become affected, but other areas will be as accessible as ever before.

For example, forgetting mechanical memory like riding a bicycle or even swimming is something you will never forget, no matter how old you get, and its resilience will even surpass degenerative brain diseases like Alzheimer’s.  You may start to forget faces and names of people, as most common with old people who start to experience memory loss. To find the core of this problem, we have to delve a bit deeper into neurosurgery and in this case the areas of the cortex that include the axon, the dendrite, and the synapse.

The reason why age is a factor to memory loss (as these areas control the bulk of it) is simply because brain cells die as age becomes a factor, and when they die, they affect the neuron communication to the synapse and the dendrite; thus limiting communication flow in and around the memory banks. There are established therapies which help to promote neurogenesis, or the regrowth of some of these brain cells, and there are even classes that use the individual’s very own inert will power combined with mental exercises to stimulate the brain.

Also, there is a lot of talk surrounding brain food and certain supplementation that you can use to augment the power of the brain and even slow down the process. As you can see, the route is not yet closed for you to regenerate those memory glands and ensure that you overcome age related short term memory loss.

Yes, true indeed, this article title reads “Ways to prevent short term memory loss in CHILDREN”. Who said that memory loss can only occur in our later years? Memory loss can occur to anyone, regardless of his or her age. Unfortunately, unlike flu and coughs, memory loss does not have a direct medication that you can pop in to help improve your memory conditions. There are supplements and vitamins off the shelves of every pharmacy, but none of them is proven to be effective in bring back the memory. Is your child having problems remembering things? Maybe it is time to do a little check up on her and see how you can help to improve her condition. It can be pretty pitiful when short-term memory loss happens in children. This is usually unavoidable but the good news is that there are ways to help in improving your child’s condition. Children in particular love games. Any form of games entices them, hence make use of this and make them play endless mind-boggling games. Mind games and puzzles are just some of the types of games that you might want to try on your child. Mind games and puzzles give the child the opportunity to think and strategize. As such, this allows the brain to be worked and hence enabling the child to achieve better memory capacity in the future. Although some games like puzzles might not be very relevant, giving your child the opportunity to get a hold of these games would allow them the be active mentally. Being mentally ‘dead’ or inactive would just stop the process of retrieving or storing information. Alternatively, you can make your child to be physically active by bringing them to the playground. A child that is lacking from some kind of contact with the outside world will look and feel lethargic and lazy. When a child is brought out more often, he will tend to explore new things, and hence this does a little bit of work on his mental progress. Imagine in a situation whereby the child is taken out to the playground. He will learn how to play a swing; he will learn how to go down a slide etc. This might seem pointless to you but take a close look at the kind of activities he is doing. These simple activities will allow him to build on his mental and memory power as he continues to explore new wonders. People have always considered the television as a bad creation. However, studies have shown instead that TVs can aid in children intellectual development. This of course includes developing their memory power. Specific genres of television shows can help to boost the intellectual quotient of the child. Shows like Sesame Streets are definitely great for your child. Cartoons however do not provide the same outcome. The whole idea here is to make your child develop his memory power the right way. If you choose to ignore this problem, then chances are your child will continue with this problem. You will definitely not want your child to be a laughing stock who is suffering from memory loss only at the age of 5! ]]> http://www.photographic-memory.org/short-term-memory-loss-3/feed/ 0 http://www.photographic-memory.org/photographic-memory-2/ http://www.photographic-memory.org/photographic-memory-2/#comments Thu, 17 Jul 2008 05:27:34 +0000 Photographic Memory http://www.photographic-memory.org/photographic-memory-2/ Who says that only mind freaks can have photographic memory? You definitely can hear the oohs and aahs when the Mind Freak himself was able to draw for you a detailed drawing of the entire city just after a 5 min helicopter ride. It is a miracle how these people are able to remember so well. Now, imagine if you have the exact same power and ability. Wouldn’t that be incredible? Just glimpse through your textbooks the hour before you sit for your exam and you will definitely score a miracle ‘A’. Check out these 3 effective photographic memory techniques for you that you can use and benefit from. Before getting started, photographic memory requires some kind of practice and technique too. So if you cannot do it after the first try, do not quit. Give yourself some time to get used to it too. First, the link system is usually used to aid you with all sorts of memory work. This is highly useful for memorizing texts in the form of lists or chores. So, lets say if you have a long shopping list to remember, try to get all the words and try to make it into mental scenario out of it. Example, if you are given a list of things – pink, shirt, cat, slippers, ironing and flowers, make a picture out of this by thinking of CAT wearing a SHIRT printed with FLOWERS and so on. When you reach the last item, try to link it to the first. This short mental film will help you to remember effectively and quickly. The second method is to use the peg system. The peg system is used usually to remember images in a sequence. This number-shape system will help you to remember the sequences of images accurately in a jiffy. For example, you are given pictures of a dog, cat, mouse, elephant, antelope and giraffe arranged in this sequence. To use the peg system, simply attach a number to each picture Example 1 dog, 2 cats, 3 mice, 4 elephant et cetera. At the same time, use your mental scenario to make the peg system work. Remember to link the animals to each other, by using the same technique as mentioned in the link system. The last technique would involve the use of the ever-famous mind mapping. Back in the school days, the mind mapping technique is a very popular and highly encouraged technique. However, over time, people choose to chuck this technique away simply because they are finding it harder to use. Well, this of course depends on the kind of area you are planning to use the mind mapping technique for. To use the mind mapping technique effectively, simply take the key central image of the concept and branch out information that is related.  It might get messier as you go by, but it is an excellent tool for organizing a busy timetable or storing large quantities of information. Developing photographic memory is not at all that tough. If you are not born with this gift, then get sneaky and try out these tricks and apply them. Your friends will be shocked by your tremendous improvement in your memory work. ]]> http://www.photographic-memory.org/photographic-memory-2/feed/ 0 http://www.photographic-memory.org/something-special-photographic-memory/ http://www.photographic-memory.org/something-special-photographic-memory/#comments Tue, 17 Jun 2008 02:53:29 +0000 Photographic Memory http://www.photographic-memory.org/something-special-photographic-memory/ I have just released another one of my big “shockers”… –> My Secret to attaining that amazing memory much envied by everyone I’m not one to brag and I just thought I’ll let you know that I he used to have a poor memory and was having problems with my daily life.

If you were wish how you can be like that colleague, wait no longer, there are certain steps you can take that would help you develop that wonderful photographic memory that you have always wanted. Now, you do not just have to be in awe of people having photographic memory, but can experience yourself the wonderful benefits it brings! Upgrade yourself and you mind today with the following steps and your life would be tremendously changed. 1) Have a good learning spot If you are distracted most of the time while learning, it basically means you are not learning anything at all. Concentration is very important when you want information to be deeply embedded into your long term memory. You have to find a place where you can focus properly, without much distraction to allow the information to be kept into your long term memory. If you find yourself unable to focus in places where there are a lot of people, then find a quiet spot to work, that helps you to be concentrated on what you are doing and what you want to accomplish. Be able to discern what is important from what is not. Information is all around us, be it yesterday’s dinner conversation or the news today. It is experienced via sight and sound, and you are exposed to it every minute. It is easy to get carried away, what is often referred to as information overload. The ability to acquire knowledge, discern what is relevant to you, and keep that information is the key to success! Create an event tree, and make sure you focus on what knowledge you require. This will save you from being distracted due to curiosity and keep you focused on the topic at hand. 2) Discernment Excessive information has caused our minds to have an information overload and unable to process at its optimum level. In our modern society, we have information bombarded to us from all directions and it is not up to our mind’s ability to sieve out what is important from what is not. That job has to be left to us to control the amount of information we take in by remembering specifically those that are of higher importance and purpose. Take for example; which date your mother’s birthday is on would surely be more important than the date for your next shopping outing with you friends. It is important for us to discern what is important from what is not, this way our mind can focus on the more essential information rather than all the junk information we receive daily. 3) Keep your mind active This can be achieved through the use of flashcards or playing mind games such as chess or scrabble daily. Mind stimulating games help to keep our mind active and encourage the constant creation of links between our neurons which helps enhance our memory power. Repetition is crucial to memory power. You cannot expect to attain photographic memory just by doing any of these steps once only. In fact, they have to be done on a daily basis and made into a lifestyle; only then can one be on his way to having the photographic memory he always wanted. ]]> http://www.photographic-memory.org/photographic-memory/feed/ 0 http://www.photographic-memory.org/photographic-memory-fast/ http://www.photographic-memory.org/photographic-memory-fast/#comments Wed, 02 Jan 2008 16:39:47 +0000 Photographic Memory http://www.photographic-memory.org/photographic-memory-fast/ The adage that knowledge is power rings true ever more. Companies are looking for people who are intelligent, and able to apply this intelligence to their work. Having a photographic memory comes into play here, as the advantages of being able to recall every minute detail as if you had the object right in front of your eyes is a skill that cannot be more strongly emphasized. This is an extremely useful tool to have, and one that is not quite that easy to pick up. If it was, everyone would have it, and where is the advantage in that? However, you too can start on the path to acquire a photographic memory with these 2 simple methods, also known as the visualization and association method. Once you have mastered this, you will find a significant improvement in your memory, and you will be halfway there on getting a photographic memory! Method 1: Associate hard words with easy ones Ever had a list of foreign mambo jumbo staring up at you from a piece of paper? Worried about forgetting the jargon that could make or break a meeting or a presentation for the big boss? This method will ensure that you will never again have problems in keeping those tough words rolling off the tip of your tongue, making you appear to be the expert on the topic. All this involves is breaking the word down into similar sounding words that you use in everyday life. For example, the word eschew can be broken down into similar sounding words of “a shoe”! Method 2: Associating hard words with Images This method can be used in addition to, or as a standalone from method 1. All it requires is an imagination, and the ability to assign a picture to a word. Using the earlier example of eschew, you could imagine yourself ducking to avoid a shoe being thrown. This will help you to remember both the word, eschew, and its meaning. Often times, there is a very simple explanation for our lack of ability in recalling information – we never learnt it in the first place. Sure, we’ve heard it said once, or seen it on paper, but it did not register into our long term memory. By using these 2 methods, you will be able to impress the information into your mind and you will not have any trouble in recalling the words or information that you need to anymore!

Or maybe you’re tired of always fumbling around to match the right face to the right name. Not only does intelligence matter in getting ahead in life, so does your memory, and the ability to use it right! Below are 5 great tips to develop a photographic memory. Now you can be the envy of your colleagues, and you will be able to impress others with your quick recall abilities. Enhancing your brain and memory capacity has never been easier with these tips! 1) Be Discerning Be able to discern what is important from what is not. Information is all around us, be it yesterday’s dinner conversation or the news today. It is experienced via sight and sound, and you are exposed to it every minute. It is easy to get carried away, what is often referred to as information overload. The ability to acquire knowledge, discern what is relevant to yourself, and keep that information is the key to success! Create an event tree, and make sure you focus on what knowledge you require. This will save you from being distracted due to curiosity and keep you focused on the topic at hand. 2) Choose a location wisely If you cannot focus, you cannot learn. Simply because the information that you have acquired stays in the short term memory for only a very short period of time, and if you are unable to keep it in your long term memory you will not be able to recall the information that you need. Choosing a location is integral to this. If you are unable to concentrate in a noisy place, avoid doing your work in areas with a crowd such as the local café. Instead, pick a quite corner in the library where you are unlikely to be disturbed. 3) Visualization and Association This is a technique that is often overlooked due to its simplicity. However, that’s what makes it so special! It is simple to pick up, and it works without fail. This is especially useful if you need to remember facts and details, and our brain is wired to recall images better than words. Unfortunately, most information is in the form of words on paper. With the V&A method, you can convert the words into pictures, or into simpler words that will ensure that you never have trouble recalling it. This method builds on information already stored in our long term memory, making it easier to transfer the new information from the short term to the long term memory. 4) Practice sharpening your mind This can be done by using flashcards or drilling basic math everyday. The ease of calculators in doing our work has made our brains need to work less, and some adults find it difficult to do simple additions or multiplications. Basic math drills will ensure that your mind is kept alert, and math is also a basic logical process which with practice, will ensure that your mind is constantly sharp and active. 5) Take Simple Tests Do not try to learn new information just by reading the textbook, or relegating it to rote memorization. By testing yourself or taking simple tests, you will be forced to apply the knowledge that you have read. This will imprint the knowledge more deeply into your memory, and will help you in not just being able to recall the information, but also in your application of it. Whilst most people are taught that in order to remember, they need constant repetition, you will find that the above 5 tips will help you do without that tedious process, and save you a lot of time. Developing a photographic memory has never been easier with these 5 tips!
