There is a saying in our people: "A hundred times a memory, a thousand times a seal."
This proverb is valid, only if it is followed correctly. Because in order for the brain to capture information, it must temporarily not be loaded with other information.
The researcher Mueller and Piltseker emphasize that after memorizing a text, the brain should be rested. During the resting process, the brain repeats information automatically. This process is broken even if it is repeated inappropriately after the information is memorized. As a result, no "sealing" process occurs in the brain.
How long should the brain rest between memorizing and fixing? The psychologist Perón found an answer to this question. He performs an experiment on several people and instructs them to memorize and repeat 18 unfamiliar words.
In the experiment, the words were repeated 14 times after 30 seconds. When the interval was 10 minutes, it was enough to repeat 4 times. At a pause of 10 minutes to 24 hours, the data is fixed in the short-term memory. With a break of more than 24 hours, the number of repetitions increases, and when it reaches 48 hours, 8 repetitions are required. Because additional data stored in memory during this time weakens memory power.
Therefore, it is advisable to repeat the words memorized every 24 hours. The similarity of many aspects of the text makes the memorization process difficult. If the set of words is composed differently, the work will be easier. For example, what comes to mind when you think of a word in a list?
Naturally, his place in the list. This does not indicate the strength of memory. It simply means that there is nothing more important to remember than that word. Therefore, each word that is being memorized must be distinguished from others in its own way. When writing them, avoiding the uniformity and creating different color or letter forms, positive results can be achieved in the process of memorization.
