improving Memory While Speed Reading

Do you remember your first kiss? Do you remember graduation day? Do you remember a day you were assuredly scared? What do all of these memories have in common? All of these memories are related to strong emotions. Improving memory while speed reading can be fulfilled, by linking emotion to the facts you need to remember. First, let's see what role emotion plays in memory.

Strong emotions impact your midbrain. In your midbrain is a buildings called the hippocampus. This tiny buildings registers the emotional impact of an experience. Experiences that have strong emotions related to them are constantly etched into your memory. Even experiences that occur only a single time can be assuredly recalled if the emotions related to that feel are powerful.

Strong emotions are commonly related with experiences that impact your life in a very vital manner. Your brain is designed to help you survive. Remembering events that furnish power emotions is one of the best ways that it learns. Now you are ready to put this mechanism to work while speed reading.

When most population read they naturally hear words being pronounced at the back of their brain. You need to feel what you read as if it were assuredly happening. Feel the experience, live the experience, take in all the emotion of the experience. Your intense emotional experiences will stimulate your hippocampus locking the facts into your permanent memory. Let me give you a good example of how to accomplish this.

Suppose you are reading a book about malaria. You might memorize three symptoms as high fever, nausea, and delirium. How long do you think you would remember these symptoms if you were also studying hundreds of other diseases and their symptoms? Instead of remembering these three words you are going to feel the symptoms. Fantasize lying in a bed drenched in sweat from your high fever. You are covered in vomit, and can barely focus. Now if man asked you to remember the symptoms of malaria you would have these feel to recall instead of trying to remember three words. You would be putting the power of emotion to work to lock facts into your memory. Try it. You are assuredly going to love it.
