-The importance of maths skills

TASK 3

Do you have difficults to memorize? Don’t worry…

Nowadays, many people have problems in their daily life for
memorize things that they have to do, words or texts for the
university. Memorize is a biological process in which
hippocampus play an important role. The hippocampus works
with your experience and your memory with that particular fact.
On the other hand, we can difference two types of memory: the
short-term and the long-term memory. The hippocampus is in
charge of choosing which type of memory is ideal for each case.
The latest studies asseverate that the best way to memorize is
doing things physically and explaining the information to others.
This last technique helps you memorize, the 90%. If you are one
of the people who only reads to memorize, I am sorry to tell you
that in the end you will only remember 35% of that you have
read.
Currently, there are many strategies that will help you improve
memory, these are called mnemonics. One of these techniques is
known as `LinkWord Technique’. This consists of relating that
word with another word in another language an image.
To sum up, a new study of lending US university has shown that
we can store information while we are asleep. This has been
called ‘sleep memory’. So, if you don’t like memorize this could
be a good option. However, I feel that the best strategy to
memorize is teach the information to others.
