Overview of the Brain Function

In the process of remembering, the brain plays a big role. The brain can be divided into left brain and right brain. Left brain functions associated with logic, numbers, writing, intelligence, calculation, analysis, and for short-term memory (short term memory). Diguakan while our right brain for creativity, imagination, music, colors, shapes, emotions, and for long-term memory (long term memory).

More memory will last a long time if the recall using the right brain. To be able to remember well, it is necessary to train the brain to function optimally. Unfortunately, more and more people are using left brain in the process of remembering. Most people the left brain is more developed without balanced development of the right brain. Because the left brain is short-term memory, then the information stored in the left hemisphere would be more easily forgotten.

Therefore, if you want to keep the right brain, the information must be converted into a story or picture. Because the right brain does not recognize text or numbers. Exercise is necessary in order to develop the right brain. There are several techniques that can be done.

Total Story Technique (TST)

This technique is done by creating a short story of the things we are going to memorize. For example, we will shop at the supermarket to buy rice, shampoo, milk, gum, floor cleaners, egg, soy sauce, cheese, tomato sauce, paper towels. Rather than trying to memorize it, you better make a story for these things to Dewi Sri (the goddess legend that describes the rice paddy) was shampooing (shampoo) with a milk bath. While outside, the Mbok who was chewing gum while mopping (permbersih floor) has prepared an egg flavor of soy sauce sprinkled with cheese and tomato sauce as a soft tissue.

The story was completely visualized and imagined. Develop your imagination by adding color, sound, objects and gestures to support the story. For example, imagine a pink bath milk bath where Dewi Sri, imagine the Mbok old and gray wearing kebaya was mopping the page, listen to the sounds of gum chewing on his mouth, and imagine you taste the eggs that tasted like soy sauce, imagine the form of eggs sprinkled with cheese and tomato sauce, and imagine that you can hold the egg and feel the softness of as a tissue.

Make it a real image in front of you. With a sample of this story, we have trained the right brain that functions in creativity and imagination. Creativity is created when we make a short story and imagination played a role when we visualize the story.

Total Word Technique (TWT)

In this technique you want to remember the information is converted into abbreviations or if the information to be remembered is a foreign word, can be transformed into words that sound almost the same. This technique is often referred to as mnemonics. After that, just made the story to be accepted by the right brain.

For example, when I have to memorize 8 planets from closest to the sun. The order is Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune. If memorizing is difficult, can be transformed into the phrase "Riding a Vespa Not Toys, Judi Friends Risked Urip".

Sentence using some of the first letter or first syllable of the order of the planet who wants to be remembered. Riding to remember Mercury, Venus Vespa for, not to the Earth, Toys for Mars, to Jupiter Judi, Companions for Saturn, Uranus Urip for, Risked for Neptune. By imagining the characters and is being done, you can better remember it.

Total Number Technique (TNT)

For example, you have to remember the number 212,007,217,080,205. You can turn it into a story like Wiro Sableng (212) and James Bond (007), two (2) are following the ceremony of independence (1708) on the day of national education (0205).

Given the Form Code

Duck (2) glasses (8) a sailboat ride (4) with right hand holding a cigar (6) and left hand holding a hoe (7) playing ball (0).

Given the Beep Codes

Old man (2) buy a board (8) and diamond (4) of the person being planted (6) clothes (7) Hirst (0).

The method described above is given only a few examples of techniques that can be used to remember, because there are still other methods. Recall method will be encouraged to continue to make you creative in creating a short story, imagining and mengimajinasikannya.
