Are you good at remembering things? Can you remember a long list of English vocabulary quickly and easily? If the answer to these two questions is 'no,' help may be at hand. A new study says pretty much anyone can have an upgraded memory if they train their brain. Scientists say that we can train our brain to be a "memory athlete" just like athletes train to be champions. Neuroscientist Martin Dresler wrote in the journal "Neuron" that just six weeks of brain training can turn people with average memories into people with an incredible ability to remember things. Dr Dresler even suggested people could train their brain to enter the World Memory Championships that are held in March every year.
你擅長記憶東西嗎?你能快速輕松地記憶很多英語詞匯嗎?如果這兩個問題的答案是“不”,幫助的方法可能就在手邊。一項新的研究表示,如果訓練一下大腦,許多人的記憶力都會得到提高??茖W家表示,我們可以訓練我們的大腦成為“記憶運動員”,就像運動員通過訓練成為冠軍一樣。神經(jīng)科學家Martin Dresler在《神經(jīng)元》雜志上寫道,僅需六周的大腦訓練,記憶力普通的人就可以擁有難以置信的記憶力。Dresler博士甚至表示,人們可以訓練自己的大腦參加每年三月份舉行的世界記憶冠軍大賽。
Dr Dresler compared MRI scans of the brains of 23 of the world's top 50 memory champions with the brains of "normal" people. He said: "We were interested in what differentiates memory champions from normal people, like you and me." He was surprised to find no differences. This made him believe we can all become memory athletes with the right training. Dresler found that 40 days of daily 30-minute training sessions using a memory technique called mnemonics more than doubled a person's memory capacity. Mnemonics is an ancient memory device that helps people remember things, especially in list form. Who knows? It could help you with those words for your next vocabulary test.
Dresler博士將世界記憶冠軍前50名中23人的大腦掃描圖片與一般人的大腦掃描圖片進行對比。他表示:“我們對記憶冠軍和你我這樣的普通人有什么差別比較感興趣。”讓他驚訝的是,兩者沒有任何區(qū)別。這讓他相信,通過正確的訓練,我們都能成為記憶健將。Dresler博士發(fā)現(xiàn),連續(xù)40天,每天30分鐘的助記碼記憶術(shù)訓練可以使一個人的記憶力提高一倍以上。助記碼是一種古老的記憶設(shè)備,幫助人們記憶,尤其是列表形式的內(nèi)容。誰知道呢?或許這種方法能夠幫助你記住下次詞匯測試的內(nèi)容。
