Hi, well, School is starting at the End of this Month.
Yeah, great, but the Problem that I have encountered is my Memory Capacity, whenever I read the "Today's Lesson" (whenever the Teacher says "For Today we have this so Open your books to that page") it was just Stressfully Hard for me to Memorize the Book's Content for "Today's Lesson".
Including how some times my Shyness interferes with it making it worse.
So now, does any of you guys have any Idea or Opinion to suggest which my help me Improve my Memory Capacity?
*NEW*
OK, I suppose I declare this Discussion CLOSED as this has gone far beyond normal Give-Hints-To-Help and suddenly it tuned into a Argue-With-Each-Other-Somehow-Out-Of-Topic and for boosting it we have to thank BenC personally.
Thank you - M.V Reeves, Xavier De Forres, MycKob4, CyberLN, Nyarlathotep (at least you participated), Charvak, Chimp3 and Pitar.
And BenC, thanks to you also for participating -_- (Irony intended).

I don't see how you've come to the conclusion that your memory capacity is the issue. Care to elaborate?
"It was just stressfully hard for me to memorize the book's contents." - SkyDiVer
I agree with Xavier in that it sounds as though your problem is not in capacity, since your primary complaint seems to regard the process of memorization, as opposed to the quality of being able to store large amounts of memory. Arbitration is the key to forgetting, so if you want to be able to memorize something more effectively, rework the material into something more personally meaningful to you. It takes just as much work, so if your complaint is that it is "just stressfully hard," then my best advice is: "that's life."
Also, are you German, or do you like to capitalize most of your nouns for another reason?
I know that's Life, if Life isn't Hard at Moments then you're just not living it.
And no I am not German, I am Albanian. I don't really understand what this Capitalize thing has to do with Germans, but the reason I do this is to put a lot more accentuation to the word.
Try U̲n̲d̲e̲r̲l̲i̲n̲ei̲n̲g̲.
In German, all Nouns are capitalized, as demonstrated here.
Ridiculous! First of all, he stated that his problem was memory, not effort. Secondly, I have already offered a solution that includes memory devices and I didn't try and make myself seem intelligent in doing so. I think that you aren't so much concerned with the problem as your appearance on this forum. Come on, you're better than that. Solve the problem, don't attempt to show off. He's 16 for cryin' out loud! He's Albanian. read the content, not the grammar.
He said he was trying to put emphasis. I simply demonstrated a different way to do so. I meant no insult or Ill intent.
My post was for Reeves not you.
With how the post system is set up, I could not tell. I apologise.
*cough* 14 *cough*.
Lol. Sorry about all of that. I'm sure that he didn't mean to do it. Sometimes the details get lost in the barrage.
myckob4:
You posted your solution after I had done mine, so you had not "already offered a solution . . ." in that respect.
I addressed the memory problem with a solution:
"Arbitration is the key to forgetting, so if you want to be able to memorize something more effectively, rework the material into something more personally meaningful to you." - Myself
I do not expend any additional effort in writing as I do, and I have been writing like this for as long as I can well remember. I ask that you learn to deal with any discomfort that my writing style may bring you, as I grant you the same courtesy. Also, I accept your implicit compliment regarding my intelligence.
I included the note about effort because I read the content of the post (as opposed to the grammar) and I extrapolated to cover all of my bases.
I made a postscript note about the grammar because I am interested in linguistics, not because I am, as I must assume you assume I am, based on your new thread regarding the I.Q., a "grammar Nazi."
In the future, I ask that you carefully read my posts before responding to them in such a way as you have here.
There are memory techniques such as making a rhyme of important information. Like, "In 1492, Columbus sailed the ocean blue." That seems to help.
Yes but I can't rhyme everything.
Try creating mnemonics.
Sadly, I got nothing to add. I'm very bad at memorizing things. :(
One of the best way to memorise information is word associations. Try to understand the text and associate the information with a memory. Some people use memory palaces others use other devices.
As long as you can associate the information it will be easy to recall. All you have to do is bring up the associated memory and this comes as an add on baggage.
Thats how I do it.
Strange that they are asking you to memorize as opposed to understanding content. Why so much memorization?
My memory isn't bad. My desire to commit to memory is deplorable. I remember what interests me and that's the extent of my effort. I'm going to apply that rationale to the OP. If you're not interested in the topic, you won't commit effort to retaining it. Memory is not an autonomous trait of the human subconscious. It has to be consciously, and dutifully engaged when the topic is not interesting. I think that's the way of it.
I'm a musician - singer/player - and I have to learn songs. I freaking hate it when a song set includes stuff I have zero interest in memorizing. But, memorize it I do and then I play/sing it with an engaging smile. The show must go on either as a student or entertainer. Either way, it's all scripted, so memorize what you must and get on with it.
Are you getting enough sleep? Eating a good healthy diet? Those two areas alone can greatly impact memory.
@Deidre
Well, I have had some loss of appetite for Food and sleep has been reduced to mostly 6-7 Hours (I slept like 9-10 Hours).
@SkyDiVer
It could have something to do with it, maybe test it out. Buy some foods that are good for your brain function, try eating them for 30 days to see if there's a difference. And try to get back to more sleep, it may help. I'm into super foods and all that lol we can help ourselves much of the time through changing our diet, alone. (and lifestyle, etc) If you're drinking alcohol, I'd stop that too for 30 days.
Not to offend, madam, but he's only 14.
@Deidre
If I was actually drinking alcohol I wouldn't even be here.
