Question

It can be difficult to remember things in the long term, because memories may get lost over time. But you can change the way you learn new information in order to successfully remember it in the long term.

Focus on (專注于)new information. It’ll be easier to remember something in the future if you give it all of your attention while you’re trying to learn it. Don’t try to do several tasks at the same time. While you are learning, turn off the TV and put your phone somewhere you can’t see it. It helps new information move from your short-term to your long-term memory. And you may need to ask your roommate or family to give you some quiet time.

Take a break after learning something new. Just sit quietly for a few minutes. Avoid trying to get other things done during this time, as it will interfere with ( 干擾 ) the process of building the new memories you’ve just formed.

Review information right before bed. Studies suggest that your brain uses sleeping hours to review and choose what you will be able to recall in the long term. For this reason, you can improve your long-term memory by going over information that you want to remember right before you go to sleep.

Organize information into related groups. For example, if you’re trying to remember a shopping list, group the things into categories (種類) like “vegetables” and “fruits”. Then try to memorize each category separately.
