Seeking the laws of human brain memory and formulating efficient learning strategies
A learning and memory book that has been sold in Japan for more than ten years
Newly revised edition
◎ Editor's Recommendation
☆ Relevant to real life, a must-have for exam takers and necessary for improving learning skills!
Why do we forget things we have read so quickly? How can we get rid of the learning dilemma of "memorizing by rote" and "being impatient"? For all those preparing for the exam, efficient memory is the key to success in the exam!
☆ Popular science knowledge + practical methods + consulting case sharing, which are both based on facts and provide practical guidance!
The human brain is different from a computer. It has its own ideas, and memory itself is a scientific matter.
What we memorize after staying up late before an exam will be quickly forgotten, but we can remember things we are interested in. If we can take advantage of this "physiological law" of the human brain, we can effectively improve the efficiency of learning and memory.
☆ The language is easy to understand, which lowers the reading threshold and embodies the true spirit of popular science reading!
The writing style and language of the book are humorous and witty. There are no long-winded professional terms. Most of the content is easy to understand and popular, and it shares practical cases. It can be read by junior high school students, high school students, and adults.
◎ Introduction
This book is a popular science book about "learning" and "memory". Focusing on the question of "how to effectively memorize information", the author combines cutting-edge research and experiments in brain science to explain the principles of "remembering and forgetting" in the human brain. It not only presents the wonderful mechanism of the human brain to screen and store information, but also teaches readers how to flexibly use the rules of the human brain, achieve "long-term memory conversion" by "deceiving the brain", and apply the memory methods and strategies of the "understanding and transfer" phenomenon of information in the human brain.
In addition, the author also provides suggestions from the perspective of brain science and psychology for consulting cases such as "memory problems" and "lack of motivation" of learners. This book can be used as a reference for preparing for various exams such as the middle school entrance examination, college entrance examination, postgraduate entrance examination, civil service examination, and professional qualification examination, and can also be used as an "efficient memory method" in daily work and study.
◎ Readers' comments
This book uses brain science to help me find my own problems, and kindly guides me on how to correct them. Reading it makes me feel a positive force. Although the theme of the book is "exams", the memory methods in it can be used in daily work and study. My child is preparing to enter elementary school, so it is a little early for him to read this book. I am very much looking forward to conveying the suggestions in the book to him in the future.
——Reader comments
I have read many books on how to take exams, but this book really helped me understand the principles of memory. After knowing the ways and methods of memory, I became more confident and sure about my studies. It became very interesting to let my brain learn, and of course, facing the exams was no problem.
