Memory Boosting Tips
 The human brain has an
astonishing ability to adapt
and change — even into old
age.
 The brain‟s incredible ability to
reshape itself holds true when
it comes to learning and
memory.
 Memory Boosting is no magic
and anyone can do it.
Memory Boosting Tip # 1
Don’t skimp on exercise or sleep
 When you exercise the body, you exercise
the brain.
 Treating your body well can enhance
your ability to process and recall
information.
 Having a good sleep can improve
memory.
 If you sleep well, your brain will be
recharged.
Memory Boosting Tip # 2
Make time for friends and fun
 Humans are highly social animals.
 We‟re not meant to thrive, let alone thrive,
in isolation.
 Relationships stimulate our brains—in fact,
interacting with others may be the best
kind of brain exercise.
 Laughter is good for your brain.
Memory Boosting Tip # 2
Make time for friends and fun
 To add laughter to you life try
following tips:
 Laugh at yourself.
 When you hear laughter, move
toward it.
 Spend time with fun, playful people.
 Surround yourself with reminders to
lighten up.
 Pay attention to children and
emulate them.
Memory Boosting Tip # 3
Keep stress in check
 Stress is one of the brain‟s worst
enemies.
 Over time, if left unchecked,
chronic stress destroys brain cells.
 The region of the brain involved in
the formation of new memories
and the retrieval of old ones is
badly affected by stress.
Memory Boosting Tip # 4
Bulk up on brain-boosting foods
 Just as the body needs fuel, so
does the brain.
 A diet based on fruits, vegetables,
whole grains, and “healthy” fats
will provide lots of health benefits
 Such a diet can also improve
memory.
 But for brain health, it‟s not just
what you eat—it‟s also what you
don‟t eat.
Memory Boosting Tip # 4
Bulk up on brain-boosting foods
 The following nutritional tips will help boost
your brainpower and reduce your risk of
dementia:
 Get your omega-3s (Fish is a particularly rich
source of omega-3).
 Limit saturated fats.
 Eat more fruit and vegetables.
 Choose complex carbohydrates (whole-
wheat bread, brown rice, oatmeal, and
high-fiber cereal).
Memory Boosting Tip # 5
Know how to organize your life
 Keep items that you frequently need,
such as keys and eyeglasses, in the same
place every time.
 Use an electronic organizer or daily
planner to keep track of appointments,
due dates for bills, and other tasks.
 Keep phone numbers and addresses in
an address book or enter them into your
computer or cell phone.
Memory Boosting Tip # 5
Know how to organize your life
 Improved organization can help free up
your powers of concentration so that you
can remember less routine things.
 Even if being organized doesn‟t improve
your memory, you‟ll receive a lot of the
same benefits (i.e. you won‟t have to
search for your keys anymore).

anything, so long as it meets the following
three criteria:
 It is new
 It is challenging
 It is fun
Memory palace
 The Memory Palace technique is based
on the fact that we’re extremely good at
remembering places we know.
 A „Memory Palace‟ is a metaphor for any
well-known place that you‟re able to
easily visualize.
 It can be the inside of your home, or
smaybe the route you take every day to
work or familiar place will be your guide to
store and recall any kind of information.
 Let‟s see how it works.
Video Demonstration
Memory Boosting Exercise
 Research suggests that you can boost
your memory by exercising it daily.
 You can try flex your brain by trying to
recall details you haven't thought of for
years.
 Make it a habit to give 10 min. daily to
practice memory boosting exercise.
 You can even do them during your free
time.
Memory Boosting Exercise
 Example: Some basic things that you can
try to remember can be:
 Think 10 words that start with „A‟ and then
work your way through other alphabets.
 Try to remember a list of similar objects or
people for 1 min. - for example British Prime
Ministers, capital cities, famous scientists or
types of fruit.
 It won‟t be long before you will feel an
improvement in memory.

checkers, risk, and monopoly etc.

Memory boost for studies
Focus your attention on the materials you
are studying
 Attention is one of the major
components of memory.
 For information to move from
short-term memory into long-term
memory, you need to actively
attend to this information.
 Try to study in a place free of
distractions such as television,
music and other diversions.
Memory boost for studies
Avoid cramming by establishing regular
study sessions
 Studying materials over a number
of session's gives you the time you
need to process the information.
 Research has shown that students
who study regularly remember
the material far better than those
who try to do it in one session or
mostly one night ;)
Memory boost for studies
Structure and organize the information you
are studying
 Try grouping similar
concepts and terms
together
 Make an outline of your
notes and textbook
readings to help group
related concepts.
Memory boost for studies
Visualize concepts to improve memory and
recall
 Pay attention to the photographs, charts
and other graphics in your textbooks.
 If you do not have visual cues to help, try
creating your own.
 Draw charts or figures in the margins of
your notes or use highlighters or pens in
different colors to group related ideas in
your written study materials.
Memory boost for studies
Utilize mnemonic devices to remember
information.
 Mnemonic devices are a technique often
used by students to aid in recall.
 A mnemonic is simply a way to remember
information.
 You might associate a term you need to
remember with a common item that you
are very familiar with.
 The best mnemonics are those that utilize
positive imagery, humor or novelty.
Memory boost for studies
Teach new concepts to another person
 Research suggests that reading
materials out loud significantly
improves memory of the material.
 Psychologists have also discovered
that having students actually teach
new concepts to others enhances
understanding and recall.
 You can use this approach in your
own studies by teaching new
concepts and information to a
friend or study partner.
Conclusion
A good memory is essential for everyone.
 It is never too late or too early to improve
on your memory.
 Correcting some basic habits can ensure
you a good memory.
