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). Meanwhile, our right brain diguakan for creativity, imagination, music, colors, shapes, emotions, and for long-term memory (long term memory).

Memories will be more lasting if the recall using the right brain. To be able to remember well, need to train the brain to function optimally. Unfortunately, more people are using left brain in the process of remembering. The left brain is more developed most people without a 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 in the right brain, the information must be transformed into a story or picture. Because the right brain does not recognize text or numbers. Exercises required in order to develop the right brain. There are several techniques that can be done.

Total Story Technique (TST)

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

The story actually visualized and imagined. Develop your imagination by adding color, sound, objects and motion supporting the story. For example, imagine a pink bathing place where Goddess Sri bath milk, imagine the Mbok old and wearing a gray kebaya was mopping the page, listen to the voice cud chewing gum in his mouth, and imagine that you taste the eggs that tasted like soy sauce, imagine the egg shape studded cheese and tomato sauce, and imagine that you can hold the egg and feel the softness of such tissue.

Make it real shadow in front of you. With the example 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 the information you want to remember is converted into the abbreviations or if the information that will be remembered is the foreign words, can be converted into words that sounded almost the same. This technique is often referred to as bridge donkey. After that, just made ​​the story to be accepted by the right brain.

For example, when I have to memorize the eighth planet from the nearest sun. The order was Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune. If memorizing is difficult, can be transformed into the phrase "Not Vespa Riding Toys, Judi Companion Urip desperate. "

Sentence using several letters ahead or first syllable of the order of the planet who wants to be remembered. Riding to remember Mercury, Venus Vespa for, Not for the Earth, Toys for Mars, Judi to Jupiter, to Saturn's Companions, Urip to Uranus, daring to Neptune. By imagining the characters and that is being done, you can better remember it.
