Do the preparation task first. Then read the text and do the exercises.
Preparation
In 1885, Hermann Ebbinghaus studied his own memory. He wanted to know how quickly he forgot new information. He gave himself tests after different periods of time to see how much he forgot each time. The result is called The Forgetting Curve.
[1] We forget the fastest in the first 24 hours.
[2] And then we forget more and more but the speed slows down over time.
[3] After about six days, we have forgotten most of the new information.
[4] If we revise the information …
[5] ... we make the memory stronger and we slow down the speed of forgetting.
[6] If we revise again and again, we can leave longer and longer periods of time between revisions.
Time is not the only thing that makes us forget something. If we are tired or under stress, we forget faster. If the information was difficult to understand we will forget it faster too. But things that are very important or meaningful to us are easier to remember.
To remember things, I make them as Important things and I always revise my works and written.
for me when i memorize information i only remember the first day if I'm not revise and mostly our generation its difficulty to recheck what they memorize
To remember important information, I tend to write on the note pad to revisit next time.
When I make notes, I try to write neatly in simple form so that it may be easier to remember.
Also, I revisit information again to consolidate my understanding about the information.
i remember my things by Write on my information and appointment book
and i slowly forget the important information My own
i dont I don't always use blogs.
What do you do to remember things?
im a person who usually forgets a lot of things. So for imfortant work, i must rercord them and to do them as soon as possible. Sometimes, i forgets where put the thing, so, i have put them at fix places where i can remember to take them.
I revise those things as much as possible periodically on time, every three days or every week. I am also a very practical guy, I need to put in practice the knowledges I get for really interiorize it.
To be honest it is hard to remember with age, but I have found that more you practice the better you will be in retaining the information, I believe in small steps so I don't stress much I take piecemeals, before I go to bed I read again if I want to learn something and revise again the very next morning.
I cannot find the worksheet of this lesson.
