You don’t need complicated activities to strengthen your memory and you can strengthen your memory just by doing the simple things below. In the following, we review 10 ways to strengthen memory that have been scientifically approved.
1. Draw
New studies show that drawing pictures of words helps to create stronger and more reliable memories. Of course, studies have shown that the quality of your painting is not so important. This means that anyone can benefit from this technique even if they are not very talented at painting.
2. Close your eyes
According to the latest studies, closing your eyes actually helps you recall memories. Those who witnessed the crimes remembered the details of the incident twice as much with their eyes closed than with their eyes open. This made the results that these people reported to the police more useful.
3. Imagine how it relates to you
Psychological research has shown that imagining how things relate to you makes it easier for you to remember things. In this study, both people who had memory problems and people who did not have such problems were studied, and as a result, it was found that this method was useful for both groups.
The results showed that whether people have memory problems or not, imagining yourself and finding your relationship with memories was the best strategy. Compared to normal conditions, this strategy even helped triple the amount of detail that people recalled.
4. 40 seconds of practice
According to studies, 40 seconds of repetition and memory practice can be the key to permanent memory recall. When you start saying and practicing the memory, the same part of your brain is activated that prevented you from recalling the memory before. This point of the brain (dorsal gray cortex) is the same point that is damaged in Alzheimer’s disease.
Brain scans show that the more related the activity that takes place when recalling a memory, the more people can remember.
5. Run barefoot
New studies show that running barefoot improves memory more than running with shoes. Probably the benefits of barefoot running are that more requests are sent to the brain during barefoot running; For example, you need to stay away from rocks and anything else that might hurt your feet. The type of memory tested in this study is called working memory. The brain uses working memory to recall and process information.
6. Write in your own handwriting
According to new research, writing by hand boosts memory more than using real or virtual keyboards. Feedback from writing helps people learn along with the touch of paper and pen. Areas of the brain that are critical for language are more activated through physical activity.
7. Lift weights
According to new studies, a weight training session can instantly boost your long-term memory by 20%. Although it is now known that several months of aerobic exercise can improve memory, this is the first study to examine the effects of short-term strength training.
8, 9 and 10. Childhood activities
Climbing a tree has a positive effect on working memory up to 50%. This is also true for other childhood activities such as balancing while walking on a sidewalk table and navigating through obstacles.
