What you can do to improve your memory? One useful tip is that things are more likely to be remembered if you are in exactly the same state and place as you were when you learned them . So if you are a student who always revises on black coffee , perhaps it would be sensible to prime yourself with a cup before going into the exam. When you learn is also important . Lots of people swear they can absorb new information more efficiently at some times of day that at others. For most of us, the best plan is to take in new information in the morning and than try to consolidate it into memory during the afternoon. Another thing you can do is to avoid learning marathons . Take plenty of breaks , because they offer a double bonus : the time off gives your mind a chance to do same preliminary consolidation and it also gives a memory boost to the learning.
