Learning Tips: How To Remember

Although learning process is often associated with different areas of academic study we have to learn many things during our lives even if we are not engaged in academic process. Thus, some learning tips would be useful for everybody who wants to get success and self-satisfaction.

One of the integral parts of learning process is remembering a huge amount of new information. The remembering process varies significantly and depends on a person’s psychological and physiological abilities. Generally, remembering process is divided into four models which involve different person’s sensibilities.

The first model evolves abilities which direct persons with more developed visual perception. This model perfectly works with such instruments as listing new information in dairies, vocabularies, sheets of papers and even visualizing new phenomena at pictures. The good example of such learning is manual transcription of the new information on tiny sheets of papers to carry them comfortably and have them available each time you can work with them.

The second model works well for people who prefer to listen rather than watch. Records of new information available on audio tapes and discs are the most effective way of remembering in this model. A little tape recorder would be your perfect friend if you like sounds! Carry it and turn on each time you hear the new information. Once you have recorded something new you are able to enjoy listening to new sound-junctions and learn them.

The third model is closely connected with kinesthesia. Kinesthetic people prefer feeling movements and, therefore would perfectly remember the new things which are associated with some active move of their muscles. You should experience your body in different ways to find which active games, movements, gestures would suit you best.

The fourth model is called tactile remembering. Tactile abilities are perfectly developed if your eye-sight and hearing are weak and you usually ignore them because they are not very useful for your memory. Bright colors, brilliant symbols, collages and various demonstration boards would be very helpful for tactile learning.

Although each learner is an individual and has to choose the model which suits him best, we all have common abilities that make us deviate from the strict modeling division. It can be explained by our brain structure. While remembering both of our hemispheres – left and right – are involved in perception process. Left logic hemisphere can be referred to the first three models whereas right illogic hemisphere is responsible for symbolizing, colors and emotions. The most effective learning of new information occurs when we manage to combine all four models with the domination of one of them. Thus, it is very important to know all the four learning models and define which one suits you best at the same time.
