Abstract This paper is about exploring the use of memory system on strengthening study areas. In the paper, literatures are used to reveal the basic knowledge and functions of memory system like forms of memory as well as some memory techniques and ways that can help enhancing and strengthening study efficiency such as Acronyms and Acrostics.
Besides, some experience studies are also used for evidence the effect and reality of memory system use for studying.
It is explained that how using memory system for learning and studying could strengthen the study areas.
1. Introduction Memory -- is the process by which information is encoded, stored, and retrieved. It seems a little bit abstract but it actually closely related daily lives. In academic, we always need to recite the presentation speeches, remember the knowledge or formulas as well as have revision for tests and exam. All these things must rely on the memory system - we must clearly remember the knowledge or else or and the end will fail the exam. Besides, we may always forget things easily, not matter it happens just a few minutes even several seconds.
Actually, memories are related to human’s brain, for instance, the hippocampus and temporal cortex seem related to the declarative memory, the cerebellum and spinal cord seem to be necessary for procedural memories.
This paper aims to analysis helpful memory techniques and enhance the cognition of memory in a bit to better studies through
