What to do if memory problems occur

Looking back on the past year, you suddenly find yourself vaguely remembering some events, and in general became scattered and forgetful? It seems that it's time to deal with the mischievous memory!
As long as we do this, you know: you remember literally everything from the day you were born. Psychologists say that memory so carefully and logically stores data from the very moment of conception and development of the embryo, that it would envy any archivist!



Such a different
For all its complexity and mystery, our memory is also very diverse. For example, for temporary reasons, it is divided into a sensory one, which lasts for a fraction of seconds, a short, a leading account for minutes, and a long-term one, at the disposal of which for many years or all the life that has been let to us. But there are five forms in human memory:
1.Obraznaya stores information about perceived vital phenomena and objects;
2. The emotional plays the role of a coin box for feelings and experiences;
3.Sloves and logic is responsible for our thoughts, judgments and all sorts of inferences;
4. Conscious memory carefully "preserves" what we remember consciously;
5. The unconscious is responsible for unconscious remembering.
But the most active interest of scientists in recent years is the so-called working memory. It stores a certain amount of information that we use every day. And each of us working memory is highly individual, because its information volume is formed by the person selectively. Musicians, for example, store notes, melodies and rhythms in it, chefs - hundreds of recipes of dishes, drivers - information about necessary routes, etc.

Memory Paradox
In fact, there are many of these paradoxes, but now we want to tell only one thing, which is connected with complaints about bad memory. The thing is that we remember much more than we can consciously reproduce. The most weighty proof of this is immersion in hypnosis, in which a person with the help of a doctor is able to remember much more than he thought. It turns out that complaints about forgetfulness are not related to memorization, but to the reproduction of information. And most often in such failures it is precisely the individual selectivity of our memory. Its mechanism works on the principle of "Ukhta! It's very interesting!" This is where she concentrates, not noticing everything else.

Train and nurture
So what can you do to quickly find the right memory? Scientists and doctors in this matter show enviable unanimity - the memory needs to be trained and nourished! Training is necessary so that our consciousness learns to work for memorization, and this is possible only with conscious concentration of attention. Concentration, however, requires some effort, and effort is energy. And with the help of what foods, vitamins and trace elements to replenish it, it is also important to know.
But first, let's talk about exercises. The most popular are four.
No. 1: Speak! Yes, yes, the old good cramming aloud to the state of "bouncing off teeth" helps a lot.

№2: Write! Summaries, cribs, notes on the margins, napkins and cuffs. The main thing is to systematize the necessary information and save it in visual memory, which is able to provide us with a maximum of information.

№ 3: Build an associative series! It is the associations that will help to find the way to the necessary information. The phrase "Every hunter wants to know where the pheasant is sitting", helping to remember the sequence of colors of the rainbow - just from this series. Someone connects the memorization of information with words, names and concepts, and someone operates with numbers. For example, it is easy to remember the address of a personal e-mail, if it consists of digits, meaning the date, month and year of birth of the owner of the mail. That's how it works.

No. 4: Keep in shape!

№ 5: Correctly feed! Nutritionists are advised to introduce in the diet of fatty fish, olive oil and nuts, in which there are useful fatty acids. And to protect brain cells antioxidants are needed. They are in black chocolate, coffee, green tea and forest berries. And watch your daily water diet - one of the most common causes of headaches is a banal lack of water in the body.
The best vitamin charge for the brain is vitamins of group B, and microelementary - iron and iodine.

Feed, train and protect your memory. Every day she receives a huge amount of positive and negative, primary and secondary, necessary and frankly "garbage" information. If there is a choice to see a horror film, think about why you need this negative information. Perhaps it is better to walk around the park, inhaling the intoxicating frosty air and listening to the gay squeaking of the snow under your feet ...
