Do you often forget when looking for an object? For example you often forget to put where your keys? Or forgetting important things to be done? Forgot your password? Your child's bad replay value due to the difficulty memorizing? It is widely experienced by us. Consequently, the more time and energy required to find stuff, get a scolding from someone else, or get a bad result is due to forgetfulness. The brain's memory will be on the wane with age. The older age of a person usually they will increasingly forgetful. However, this can also happen at a young age. This problem can be reduced by training the brain.
Brain Function
In the process of remembering, brain plays a big role. The brain can be divided into left brain and right brain.
Left brain functions associated with logic, numbers, writing, intelligence, calculation, analysis, and for short-term memory (short term memory).
Right brain for creativity, imagination, music, colors, shapes, emotions, and for long-term memory (long term memory).
Memories will be more likely to survive long if in considering using the right brain. To be able to remember it well, need to train the brain to function optimally. Unfortunately, more people are using left brain in the process of remembering. Left brain develops most people without a balanced development of the right brain. Because the left brain is short-term memory, the information stored in the left hemisphere would be more easily forgotten.
Therefore, if you want to save in the right brain, the information must be changed into a story or picture. Because the right brain does not recognize text or numbers. Exercise is necessary in order to develop the right brain. There are several techniques that can be done.
Total Story Technique (TST)
This technique is carried out by making a short story of the things that we had memorized. For example we are going shopping at the supermarket to buy rice, shampoo, milk, gum, floor cleaner, eggs, soy, cheese, tomato sauce, a tissue. Rather than try to memorize it, you better make the story for these things to Dewi Sri (the goddess of the legend that describes the rice paddy) was shampoo (shampoo) with a bath of milk. While outside, the Mbok who was chewing gum with a swab (permbersih floor) have prepared an egg flavor soy sauce sprinkled with cheese and tomatoes are soft as tissue.
The story actually visualized and imagined. Develop your imagination by adding color, sound, objects and motion supporting the story. For example, imagine a pink bathing place of milk baths Dewi Sri, imagine the Mbok old and wearing a gray kebaya mopping the page, listen to the voice cud chewing gum in his mouth, and imagine that you taste the eggs that taste like ketchup, imagine an egg shape sprinkled with cheese and sauce are tomatoes, and imagine that you can hold the egg and feel the softness of such tissue.
Make it a real shadow in front of you. With the example of this story, we have trained the right brain that functions in creativity and imagination. Creativity is created when we make a short story and imagination played a role when we visualize the story.
Total Word Technique (TWT)
In this technique the information you want to remember was changed to the abbreviations or if the information that will be remembered is the foreign words, can be converted into words that sound almost the same. This technique is often also called the bridge a donkey. After that, the newly created stories to be accepted by the right brain.
For example, when she had to memorize the eighth planet from the nearest sun. The sequence is Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune. If you memorize it difficult, can be converted into a sentence "Driving a Vespa Not Toys, Judi Friend Urip reckless."
Sentence using some of the letters or sequence of the first syllable of a planet that wants to be remembered. Riding to remember Mercury, Venus Vespa for, Not for the Earth's, Toys for Mars, Judi to Jupiter, to Saturn's Companions, Urip for Uranus, Neptune desperate for. By imagining the characters and that is being done, you can better remember it.
Total Number Technique (TNT)
This technique is used to remember the numbers. Because the right brain does not know the figures or writing, it needs to create stories in order to recognize the right brain. For example, you must remember the number 212,007,217,080,205. You can turn it into a story like James Bond (007), two (2) are following the ceremonies of independence (1708) on the day of national education (0205).
However, not every combination of numbers is a familiar figure as above. For that, you can make the story his own by turning it into code that can be accepted by the right brain that is in code form or sounds. You can change the numbers into code form or sound
