Chapter 65 Start Lenovo's machine and have a stronger memory

The law of association governs all our thoughts, and the "secret of a good memory" is to form varied associations of every fact we want to remember. The third natural law of memory—association—is an indispensable factor for memory.In fact, it is an explanation of memory itself.Professor James pointed out: "Basically, our mind is an associative machine... Suppose I was silent for a while, and then said in a commanding tone: 'Remember! Recall!' Will your memory organs obey this command? Recall the image from your past experience. Of course not, it will freeze, bewildered, and ask: 'What do you want me to remember?' That is to say, it needs a little hint. Conversely, if I want to remember the date of birth, or recall what I had for breakfast, or think of the sequence of notes, and your brain will immediately find the result I'm asking for. A cue will focus many possibilities on a particular point.

"If you look further into the process, you'll see: There's always some kind of connection between the cue and the thing you recall. The words 'date of birth' have an ingrained association with particular numbers, months and years; 'breakfast today' immediately Cutting off all other memory routes, leaving only a few that lead you to coffee, bacon, and eggs; the noun 'note' is the neighbor of do, re, mi, fa, sol, la, si, do The law of association governs all our thoughts and is never hindered by emotion. Everything that occurs to the mind must be led to appear in connection with something already in the mind.

"It's the same thing whether you recall it or think it. . . . Learned memory relies on organized systems of associations, the essence of which rests on two characteristics of them: first, the persistence of associations; , their numbers... Thus, the 'secret of a good memory' is to form varied associations of each fact we want to remember. But, in addition to thinking about it as much as possible, the What is connection? Simply put, two people who have the same external experience, whoever can make more use of his experience and weave them into a systematic connection with each other, will have a stronger memory."
