If you're like most students, you probably started this new year with a resolution to study harder. Now, science can help you keep your resolution.
Think of the last time you looked up a number in the telephone book and dialed it. Could you remember that number five minutes later? Probably not! That's because it's in your short-term memory which lasts just a few seconds. Short-term memory works like a "holding area" for new information—that's where you keep the phone number while you dial it. But if you can put the phone number into long-term memory, you'll remember that same phone number next week.
When you study, you send new information into long-term memory. Every time we learn something new, the structure of the brain actually changes, as we build new connections to information that we already know. When there are more connections to the new information, it's easier to find it again.
Brain researchers have discovered four key points for effective study.
• Make an effort. The brain remembers better when we are interested in the subject, already know a little about it, and know we will need the information in the future.
• Find the most important information and organize it. Your brain can process only a little information at one time, so don't try to remember every detail.
• Make the new brain connections stronger. One technique is to recite the ideas out loud in your own words. This is the most powerful way to move information from short-term to long-term memory.
• Give the new material time to be taken in—your brain has to build new physical connections. For this reason, it's better to study in several short parts than in one long period of time. And cramming the night before a big test doesn't help.
By understanding how the brain works, and following these four tips, you can make this your most successful school year ever.
