3 READING HACKS - How To (ACTUALLY) Remember What You Read


Have you ever cracked open a book and within an hour realized you barely
remember what you just read this phenomenon seems to be especially
prominent when reading material is less exciting like textbooks or academic
journals the circumstance can be very frustrating but luckily in this video I
will share the three components of memorization you must employ if you want
to dramatically improve how much information you retain when reading
before you can start remembering more effectively you should understand how
memory works memory is built on three components impression association and
repetition any one of these components can be enough to memorize what you read
however weaving the three components together is the most secure way to
remember anything once and for all let me illustrate each component impression
when you are very impressed by something an idea a picture a sound a face a text
or even a situation the probability that you will remember it is much higher for
example if you are watching LeBron James play basketball and make an incredible
dunk you may remember the whole event very accurately same with your book if
you are very impressed by something the main character did or are very intrigued
by concept in your textbook the chance you will remember this aspect becomes
higher the good thing is that you can increase the strength of this impression
yourself while reading to do this you can pause while reading and picture the
situation in your mind exaggerating some features in order to enhance the
impression of your mental image for instance if you are reading a book about
a character riding horseback through the forest you can picture in your mind the
scenery like the trees animals as well as the nature sounds that will be
present in that environment by forming mental depictions you will strengthen
your connection with the content allowing you to leave a lasting
impression in your mind the second component of memorization is a
if you can link something you read to anything you already know the
probability of remembering it becomes even stronger sometimes incredibly
strong for example if you are trying to memorize the year Barack Obama came into
office which happened to be the same year you graduated high school then you
would find it very easy to remember this because you linked the info you are
trying to remember to something you already know for sure and will not
forget by using this technique you are basically anchoring this new information
to your existing knowledge which you can leverage in case you begin to forget
what you just learned the third and final component of memorization is
repetition if you read a book 10 times you'll remember more than if you'd only
read it once this concept applies to just about everything like a route
between two locations the lyrics of a song phone numbers etc the more you
repeat the more you remember when reading a book if you do not want to
read it several times you can highlight a few parts that you want to remember
and reread only those parts several times you will remember these segments
much better and you will see that they will also help you remember the rest of
the book in conclusion retaining information you read can be challenging
but luckily by understanding the basis of memorization you can be sure to make
your reading worthwhile so remember if you want to memorize texts much more
effectively you must impress yourself with powerful mental images make
associations with what you already know and repeat this exercise several times
