Memory Techniques

Sebenarnya kita mmg boleh improve memory kita dengan beberapa cara. Sebelum aku share cara2 tuh, kita kene taw yang memory kita nih x de limit and even better dari anythg else. Even kalau da tua sekalipun, kita sebenarnya ada cara mengelakkan daripada nyanyuk. Baca al-Quran setiap hari tu satu cara. Cara lain, jaga pemakanan and selalu fokus.Memori yang best tu hanyalah satu skill dan seperti yang kita tahu, skill mmg boleh dipelajari.

First technique : mind map

Ni la teknik plg simple tapi plg malas org guna...sebab apa? Sebab, kita x taw camner nk create mind map yang best and senang nak ingat. N selalunya kita mmg x de masa pun nk buat mind map. Even me pown x buat gak tapi kajian mmg menunjukkan yang mind map ni la sgt berkesan kalau kita taw caranya.

Second technique : Imagination

Ha, teknik ni plg sesuai guna kalau kita belajar somethg like Biology. Bayangkan dan link apa yang kita belajar. Dengan syarat kita faham apa yang kita baca lar. Cara nk improve? Make benda yang nk dihafal tu as kelakar n x masuk akal. Contohnya : Nk ingat opening and closing of stomata contohnya...(iz, kalau salah fakta sorry taw - x tgk buku..based on apa yang aku ingat)...Ni contoh je taw...Sorry x complete sbb da x ingat sangat.

1. Potassium ions diffuse into guard cell - increasing d osmotic pressure in guard cell.
2. Water enter by osmosis into guard cells.
3. The two guard cells become turgid - stoma opens.
4. At night, no photosynthesis - osmotic pressure decreases.
5. Water diffuses out by osmosis.
6. Guard cells become flaccid - stoma closes.

Kalau Bio, dia nk ayat complete. Ayat aku x complete sebab aku just ingat cara jer. Cara aku ingat, aku bayangkan potassium ion tu cam seorang perempuan yg seksi try nk masuk satu kedai emas. Bila guard 2 orang tu nampak, diorang jadi berdebar-debar. Diorang beli air dari kedai sebelah and minum banyak giler sampai perut da kembung. Disebabkan terlalu kenyang minum air tu, diorg tertido. Bila guard tertido, pintu keselamatan pun terbukak. Pompuan tadi berjaya masuk (pompuan tu mewakili udara)(kedai emas to stomatal pore)(air tu air la)(guard tu guard cell). Bila hari pown da malam, guard tu terjaga. Diorang pun tutup la balik pintu keselamatan (stoma)...paham x cerita ak? Buat cerita yang mengarut so that korang lagi senang hafal.

Ni satu lagi contoh aku jumpa dalam internet

You may want to remember this list of counties in the South of England: Avon, Dorset, Somerset, Cornwall, Wiltshire, Devon, Gloucestershire, Hampshire, and Surrey.

An AVON lady is walking up a path towards a strange house. She is hot and sweating slightly in the heat of high SUMMER (Somerset). Beside the path someone has planted giant CORN in a WALL (Cornwall), but it's beginning to WILT (Wiltshire) in the heat. She knocks on the DOoR (Dorset), which is opened by the DEVil (Devon).

In the background she can see a kitchen in which a servant is smearing honey on a HAM (Hampshire), making it GLOSsy (Gloucestershire) and gleam in bright sunlight streaming in through a window. Panicked by seeing the Devil, the Avon lady screams 'SoRRY' (Surrey), and dashes back down the path.

Third techniques : Acronyms

Ala, teknik ni da banyak kali kita guna kan? Contohnya warna pelangi Micheal Jackson Kills His Brother In Usa (Merah, Jingga, Kuning, Hijau, Biru, Indigo, Ungu)

Atau nama planet -  My Very Elegent Mother Just Served Us Nine Pizzas (Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto)

Sekarang ni, aku nak ajar linking techniques. Ada beberapa peg words yg korang kene hafal. Linking nih digunakan kalau nak ingat list. Tapi cara ni la yang aku rasa paling berkesan dan senang nak digunakan (dengan syarat korang hafal list tu and imagination korang kene gila sikit), Cara ni sangat effective.

Ryhme list...list nih yang paling senang nak hafal...(one, run...two, zoo...three, tree...four, door...) bunyi nak dekat sama. Perasan x?

The usual rhyming scheme is:

0.Hero

1.Run

2.Zoo

3.Tree

4.Door

5.Hive

6.Sticks

7.Heaven

8.Gate

9.Wine

10.Hen

11.Lemon

12. Shelf

Katakanlah korang nak ingat tahun ikut kalender cina (contoh)

1.Tikus

2.Lembu

3.Harimau

4.Arnab

5.Naga

6.Ular

7.Kuda

8.Kambing

9.Monyet

10.Ayam

11.Anjing

12.Khinzir

Cara nak ingat guna linking method ni senang jer. Dlam list kita tadi kan nombor 1 = run. Dalam list yang kita nak ingat plak, 1 = tikus...bayangkan tikus sebesar kucing lari laju2 depan kita. No 2 = Zoo...no 2 pown = lembu...bayangkan ada satu hari tu, korang pergi zoo negara. Bayangkan betapa terkejutnya korang tengok lembu yang gemok tgk jaga kaunter tiket zoo , 3 = tree @ no 3 = harimau...bayangkan ada seekor harimau kat atas pokok tgh senyum kat korang...ha, imagination camtuh laaa..kalau x paham, call me ok?

Next list ni cara nak guna sama jer cam rhyme tadi...cuma ni number tag...mksudnya list dia based on bentuk nombor.

0.Doughnut

1.Candle, spear, stick

2.Swan (beak, curved neck, body)

3.Bifocal glasses, or part of a "love heart"

4.Sail of a yacht

5.A meat hook, a sea-horse facing right

6.A golf club, elephant trunk

7.A cliff edge, boomerang

8.Snowman

9.A balloon with a string attached, flying freely

10.A hole, bat and ball

Ni kalau nak ingat apa2 tapi biasanya orang guna kalau nak ingat nombor la.

Contohnya, kalau nk ingat PIN number 4527, ingat ada satu yatch nih dikejar oleh Captain Hook yang digerakkan melalui remote control oleh seekor swan yang suka main Boomerang. (sebab 4 = yatch, 5 = hook, 2 = swan, 7 = boomerang)

Alphabet tag pun sama jugak

A - Ace of spades

B - Bee

C - Sea

D - Diesel engine

E - Eel

F - Effluent

G - Jeans

H - H-Bomb, itch

I - Eye

J - Jade

K - Cake

L - Elephant

M - Empty

N - Entrance

O - Oboe

P - Pea

Q - Queue

R - Ark

S - Eskimo

T - Teapot

U - Unicycle

V - Vehicle

W - WC

X - X-Ray

Y - Wire

Z - Zulu

Tapi teknik ni orang jarang guna sebab list dia agak panjang nak hafal kan?

Journey Method

Ha, ni pown senang nak hafal sebab dia memerlukan korang ingat area rumah korang or tempat yang selalu korang pergi. Contohnya - nak ingat list shopping

Coffee, salad, vegetables, bread, kitchen paper, fish, chicken breasts, pork chops, soup, fruit, bath tub cleaner.

Korang associate this list dgn a journey to a supermarket.

Front door: spilt coffee grains on the doormat

Rose bush in front garden: growing lettuce leaves and tomatoes around the roses

Car: with potatoes, onions and cauliflower on the driver's seat

End of the road: an arch of French bread over the road

Past garage: with its sign wrapped in kitchen roll

Under railway bridge: from which haddock and cod are dangling by their tails

Traffic lights: chickens squawking and flapping on top of lights

Past church: in front of which a pig is doing karate, breaking boards

Under office block: with a soup slick underneath: my car tires send up jets of tomato soup as I drive through it.

Past car park: with apples and oranges tumbling from the top level

Supermarket car park: a filthy bath tub is parked in the space next to my car!

Key points:

Yang penting, korang kene hafal peg word ( 1=run, 2=zoo atau yang a=ace, b=bee atau yang number tu i=candel, 2=swan dan sebagainya...)

Ada lagi satu list sampai seratus tapi kalau boleh make sure korang hafal yang 1=run, 2=zoo tu dulu. yang lain, aku bagi nanti. Ok? Check balik blog aku nih sebab banyak lagi benda aku nak tambah.

Untuk hari nih tu jer dulu. Make sure sebelum korang jumpa ak, korang hafal dulu eh list yang 1- run, 2- zoo, 3- tree tuh...tu yg paling penting. Klau dah hafal yang tu, senang sikit aku nak explain.

Hope to see u guys nanti. Ada banyak lagi nk share sebenarnya tapi better aku jumpa korang. So that, senang sikit nak paham kan?
