Memory expert Jemima Gryaznov answers some of the most common questions about memory.
1. Why can I remember events in my childhood but not what happened last week
We remember things that have strong connections in our mind, especially emotional connections.
adj. 共同的，常见的，普通的
n. 关系，联系；连接
adv. 尤其，特别；专门，特别地
记忆专家Jemima Gryaznov回答了一些关于记忆的常见问题。为什么我能记得儿时的事，却记不住上周发生的事 我们记住的东西在我们的头脑中有很强的联系，尤其是情感联系。
While-reading
Childhood memories are often very emotional. This is because when we experience things for the first time, we often have strong feelings of fear or excitement. Also, interesting or funny stories from our childhood are often told again and again. As a result, we remember them much better, as retelling events helps fix experiences in our memories.
第一次
n. 激动，兴奋
一次又一次
结果
fix sth in one’s memories:牢记某事
A. What can we learn from all this When remembering something new, try to connect it to our emotions. It is important to connect it with what we already know. Also, we can try to retell what we have learnt to a few others.
connect…to/with/and:把…连接起来
v. （以不同的方式）复述，重新讲述

Question 1
While-reading
2. Do some people really have a photographic memory
A person with a photographic memory could remember every detail of a picture, a book or an event many years later, but no one has proved that there are people who really have photographic memories. Yet, there are some people who do have amazing memories. For example, Daniel Tammet can remember the first 22,514 digits of pi (T) and Stephen Wiltshire can draw a detailed picture of a city from memory after flying over it in a helicopter. They are both good at remembering particular things for a limited time.
n. 细节; 详情
v. 证明
adv. 然而; 仍然
的确：用于强调主要动词
最前面的
圆周率
adj. 详尽的，详细的
fly over:…飞越
be good at doing sth. : 擅长做某事
adj. 有限的
D. As most of us do not have amazing memories like them, when memorising detailed learning materials, we simply need to focus on the important ideas and be curious about what we learn. Asking questions about what we learn also helps with memorisation. Another effective technique to remember things is to group similar ideas or information together so that they can be easily connected to things that are already known.
n. 材料，原料；素材
专注于
be curious about: 对…好奇
adj. 有效的；实际的
v. （使）成组，聚集
adj. 相像的，类似的

Question 2
Truth
Nobody has a photographic memory.
Advice
We need to focus on the important ideas and be curious about what we learn when memorising complex learning materials.
3. Why do I forget the new words that I learnt yesterday
Don't worry. This is natural for many people. In1885, Hermann Ebbinghaus published a book called Memory and presented a famous forgetting curve. According to him, the sharpest loss of memory occurs during the very early period after learning. This means timely review during this period, with a few revisits to what is learnt, can significantly help us to remember the information.
C. So take it easy. You are at a good age in terms of your memory. Make good use of it!
v. 出版；发行
v. 展示;引见，介绍

Question 3
Truth
The sharpest loss of memory occurs during the very early period after learning.
Advice
We need to review the information at regular intervals, especially in the first day after learning it.
B. Therefore, one of the golden rules to increase how much we remember is to review the material periodically, especially during the first day after learning. This “spaced review” soon after learning helps build stronger memories and it is more effective than waiting to review everything before exams.
adv. 因此，所以
黄金法则
adv. 定期地，周期性地
adj. 隔开的;间隔排列的
soon after : 不久之后
因此，提高记忆量的黄金法则之一就是定期复习，尤其是在学习后的第一天。这种学习后的“间隔复习”有助于建立更强的记忆，比等到考试前再复习更有效。

Advice
We need to train our memory to remember more when we’re older.
Truth
Our memory reaches its full power at the age of 25.
Question 4
Jemima Gryaznov thinks people remember things they have strong sentimental attachment.
When we do things with enthusiasm, we tend to remember them well.
When we try to remember detailed materials, we should focus on the important ideas.
Jemima Gryaznov suggested another effective method to remember things: grouping similar ideas or information together.
A good strategy to increase memory is to review the material you are trying to remember often.
