Things we can do to improve our memories

改善记忆力

Repeat After Me

重复温习

As simple as it sounds, the repetition of tasks—reading, or saying words over and over—continues to be the best method for transforming short-term memories into long-term ones. To do that, we have to retrain our minds to focus on one task at a time. Sadly, most bypass this formula because we’re already convinced we’re productive.

和听起来一样简单，重复执行任务——一遍又一遍地阅读单词或将其念出声——仍然是把短期记忆转化为长期记忆的最佳途径。这样做的时候，我们必须保持注意力的集中，每次执行一项任务。可悲的是，我们大多数人都忽略了这一准则，因为我们已然相信自己可以一心多用。

New connections are made in your brain when you learn. To remember what you learn, do what you probably did in your youth: Repeat words, thoughts and ideas over and over until you get them right. It’s the easiest brain game there is.

学习的时候，新的连接会在你的大脑中形成。要记住学的东西，就得做你年少时大约做过的事情：反复记单词，反复琢磨一些想法和观念，直到完全记牢。这是最简单的大脑游戏。
