Let’s Learn about Memory
- The Rubik’s Cube is said to improve memory.
- Mnemonics leverage associations to help in retention.
- A memory palace involves mentally placing information to be remembered in specific locations in a building, and then mentally “walking” through that venue to retrieve the mnemonic image & information when you need it
- Positive effects of memory training last only for a short period after training (up to 3-9 months)
- A child’s increased ability to remember more letters doesn’t equate to better spelling skills
- Working memory training has been shown to improve memory on trained tasks known as near transfer effects. If a child is trained to remember a string of digits, he will typically get better at that after training
- However, this improvement generalises to untrained tasks, broader cognitive abilities or academic performance known as far transfer effects.
- Regular aerobic exercise boosts attention & executive functions - such as cognitive flexibility, inhibitory control, working memory and maths performance
