Bad memory is common these days. Therefore, when it is necessary to quickly memorize the text for a presentation, some difficulties arise for study or work.
How to quickly memorize large text
In total, there are 3 main known ways of memorizing texts:
- Cramming
- Retelling
- Memorization "word for word"
The first and third methods have a common basis - you need to ideally display the content of the text in verbal form. It is very difficult to do this with a bad memory. Serration has a short-term effect, i.e. after a short time, the information received is almost completely erased from memory. It is possible to use these methods, but not desirable.
The second way is a retelling close to the text, i.e. memorizing exactly the semantic part of information and duplicating it in your own words.
How to memorize a text
Texts can be conditionally divided into 2 types:
- Descriptive
- Scientific
To learn how to memorize descriptive texts, you need to go through 3 stages:
- Reading
- Understanding
- Retelling
Comprehension when memorizing texts is a very important step. After all, it is very difficult to talk about what you know a little about. Having understood the information, having delved into the very essence, it will be very easy and simple to memorize the text practically by heart.
Scientific texts are a little more complicated. As a rule, they contain dates, facts, names, etc. There are several techniques to help you quickly memorize a large amount of information in a short time:
Workout
With repeated pronouncing of certain words, the human brain is able to memorize them. The main thing is not to take too long breaks and repeat the text as often as possible.
Associations
In order to quickly memorize names or numbers, the associative method helps a lot. It is necessary to mentally draw a parallel between the memorized information and any personal fact.
It is important to remember that when memorizing a text, a positive attitude and a fresh, rested body play an important role.
