Memory hacks to make you smarter
- No matter how smart you think you are, the chances are that you sometimes fail to make
- the most of your memory. A series of surveys have shown most students fail to use proven
- methods of learning _________, instead wasting their time on ineffective methods. One of the
- problems is that we often receive a lot of conflicting information from parents, teachers, and
- scientists, so that we are unsure what works and what doesn’t. Fortunately, a new paper,
- published in one of the top psychology journals, has examined the biggest misconceptions, with
- a list of the most popular study strategies, the potential pitfalls, and the ways that they can use
- them more effectively.
- Strategy 1: Rereading: Learning new vocabulary? The most common strategy is to read
- the words and their meanings until they stick. Unfortunately, psychologists believe that it is too
- passive, meaning that most of the information fails to leave an impression.
- Memory hack: Space your reading: Passive rereading is probably the least effective
- study method, but it may sometimes feel inevitable if you feel like you lack a basic understanding
- of the concepts. You can make better use of those sessions, however, by ensuring that you return
- to the material at regular intervals. You might read a chapter, move on to something else, and
- then re-read it after an hour, a day, or a week to help stimulate the memory. You can also benefit
- from questioning your understanding before you return to the material, which helps tune your
- attention on the bits you do and don’t know and increases your mental engagement.
- Strategy 2: Underlining and highlighting: Like rereading, this study technique is nearly
- ubiquitous. The idea makes sense: the process of underlining key words and phrases should help
- you to engage more with the information, and it makes it easier to identify the most important
- passages later on. Although it can be more effective than passive rereading, underlining and
- highlighting often fail to work, with most students __________ marking up almost every
- paragraph without much discernment.
- Memory hack: Pause to think: Instead, the scientists suggest that you read the text
- once through cold, and then mark up the relevant passages on the second pass. By forcing you
- to think more carefully about each point and its relative importance in the overall argument, this
- encourages the more active processing that is essential for the formation of stronger memories.
- Strategy 3: Note-taking. Visit any lecture theatre or library and you will find students
- ________ copying the most important facts into their notebooks. Like underlining and
- highlighting, the problems come when you fail to be judicious about the material you are
- including. Your overenthusiasm – and propensity to include everything that is mentioned – can
- easily become a vice.
- Memory hack: Be concise. Experiments have shown that the fewer words students use
- to express an idea in their notes, the more likely they are to remember it afterwards. This is
- probably because creating summaries and paraphrasing force you to think deeply about the nub
- of the idea you are trying to express – and that additional effort cements it in your memory.
- These findings may also explain why it is better to take notes with a pen and paper, rather than
- using a laptop: writing by hand is slower than typing and forces you to be more concise in what
- you note down.

The word stronghold (1th paragraph) is:
Look up for two meteor showers this week
Shooting stars and fireballs could create quite a show
in the night sky this week courtesy of two meteor sh owers.
The Draconid meteor shower will be active through October 10, although Tuesday night might afford th e best view.
The
South Taurid meteor shower is expected to peak on the evenings of October 9 and 10, according to the American Meteor Society. If this doesn't pan out, the Royal
Astronomical Society of Canada's Observer's Handbook suggests that the peak could be on Nove mber 6.
Look out for the Draconid meteor shower in the early evening or nightfall. This won't be one you have to stay up past midnight to see.
The full moon is on October 13, but even in the days lea ding up to it, the bright moon may obscure the light of the meteors. However, the Draconid meteor sho wer is on the smaller side. Expect to see a few met eors streak across the sky in an hour.
