1.2 Basic Elements of Memory 

Memory is the reaction of past experience in human mind. It is a complex psychological process, a necessary condition for intellectual. All wisdom rooted in memory. Therefore, in order to remember, firstly, we should study the basics of memory, which is listed in the following part.

1.2.1  Associating

Take something you want to remember (the item) and find something you can remember (the cue) when you want to remember the original item.

Create a strong sensory link between the cue and the item, such that when you think about the cue you automatically think of the item. Visual links are the easiest, and these can be supplemented with sound, smell and so on (use those senses to which you respond most).

1.2.2  Rehearsal

Make memories stick by practicing and repeating the things you want to remember. When you have committed something to memory, whether by normal 'remembering' or with a specific memory method, you would build a schedule of repeatedly calling the memory to mind.
