The brain always forgets more things than it remembers. This is the mechanism of the human brain.
Most of the content that we stay up late to memorize before an exam will be quickly forgotten, but when we encounter something that interests us, we can remember it firmly. If we can take advantage of this "physiological law" of the human brain, we can effectively improve the efficiency of learning and memory.
Examination Brain Science combines cutting-edge research and experiments in brain science to explain the principles of "remembering and forgetting" of the human brain in a popular way. It not only presents the wonderful mechanism of the human brain to filter and store information, but also teaches readers the memory method of flexibly using the rules of the human brain to achieve "long-term memory transformation" by "cheating the brain". In addition, for common learning problems such as "memory troubles" and "lack of motivation", the author gives scientific suggestions from the perspectives of brain science and psychology. This book can be used as a test-taking guide for students and staff to review and prepare for exams, and can also be used as a guide to "efficient memory methods" in daily work and study.

Most of the content that we stay up late to memorize before an exam will be quickly forgotten, but when we encounter something that interests us, we can remember it firmly.

Examination Brain Science combines cutting-edge brain science research and experiments to explain the principles of "remembering and forgetting" of the human brain in a popular way. It not only presents the wonderful mechanism of the human brain to filter and store information, but also teaches readers the memory method of flexibly using the rules of the human brain to achieve "long-term memory transformation" by "deceiving the brain". In addition, for common learning problems such as "memory troubles" and "lack of motivation", the author gives scientific suggestions from the perspectives of brain science and psychology. This book can be used as a test-taking guide for students and staff to review and prepare for exams, and can also be used as a guide to "efficient memory methods" in daily work and study.
Memory is really a wonderful thing. Compared to remembering, we are born more suitable for forgetting. But don't be discouraged by this. According to Ebbinghaus's forgetting curve, timely review can still be very efficient and long-term memory. There are many small details in this book, combined with the descriptions of relevant theories of brain science. The author in this book not only shares learning experiences and techniques, but also clearly explains the principles related to memory and learning. After reading this book, I learned a lot about memory methods for efficient learning, which is very helpful to my learning. I highly recommend everyone to read this book carefully in your free time.
"No matter what knowledge you learn, the most important thing is to understand and master the principles behind it." I deeply agree with this. From this perspective, perhaps my biggest gain after reading this book is that I have a new understanding of how to carry out "method memory". In addition, I think the author has made a great attempt to apply scientific research results into practice. I have actually read the original documents for many of the research results in the book, but the guidance on how to guide practice is not as in-depth as the author thought.
Exams are an inevitable thing in our lives. How to do better in exams is a college question. The author of this book is proficient in brain science and has summarized many efficient memory methods in brain science, such as linking the information to be memorized with a known scene in a specific order to form a "Roman house", which can help remember the order and content of the information. For example, if you want to memorize a set of bank card passwords, you can associate the passwords with different rooms or objects in your home to form a story. Another example is to classify the information that needs to be memorized according to certain rules to reduce the amount of information and improve memory efficiency. For example, if you want to memorize some biological terms, you can memorize them according to the categories of animals, plants, microorganisms, etc.
High school sophomores have a lot of problems with their studies. They have been very serious but have not made much progress. This book gave me a lot of confidence and taught me many methods. Keep learning and always learn. You will definitely get better and better. Take your time and it will be faster.

Reading books should be inspiring, and fame comes from it
When you have a goal and reflect on yourself when reading, you can realize a lot of truths and your own conclusions.
At the beginning, I didn't know what kind of learning method I had in middle and high school. Now it seems that I, with a low IQ, must have learned with enthusiasm.
It's very interesting knowledge about brain science. Maybe there are really many things we don't understand. "There is a word called the "Mozart Effect," which refers to the phenomenon that listening to Mozart's music can make people smarter. Although it sounds like nonsense, in fact, this effect has certain scientific basis, and many related academic papers have been published. Speaking of which, I have also heard such rumors. It is said that the proportion of students at the University of Tokyo who learned musical instruments when they were young is higher than that of other universities. Although I don't know if it is related to the Mozart Effect, but I think this is an interesting observation angle."
For example, associate what you want to remember with something you are interested in, so that you can remember it more firmly. I also like the content about "cheating the brain" in the book. It turns out that proper review and practice can make the brain think that the information is important, thereby improving memory performance. I feel it is very helpful for learning, I recommend it to you!
A book that changes yourself, no exaggeration
perfect book
After reading it all, the explanations are very vivid, comprehensive and effective, and there are many methodologies.
