Active Recall: Instead of passively reading or listening, actively try to remember information without looking at notes. This strengthens neural connections and reinforces long-term memory.
Visualization: Pairing information with vivid mental images helps your brain store and retrieve memories more effectively.
Example:
Trying to remember a grocery list? Visualize each item in a unique location in your kitchen. Picture the oranges stacked on the counter, the milk spilling from the fridge, and the bread loaf on the table.
Studies show that combining active recall with visualization can significantly improve memory retention, even in adults over 60.
