People like to joke that the only thing you really “learn” in school is how to memorize. As it turns out, that’s not even the case for most of us. If you go around the room and ask a handful of people how to memorize things quickly, most of them will probably tell you repetition.

人们喜欢开玩笑说,你唯一真正的在学校“学习”的是如何记忆。事实证明,这甚至不是我们大多数人的情况。如果你在房间里和问少数的人怎样才能很快地记住东西,他们中的大多数可能会告诉你重复。

That is so far from the truth, it’s running for office. If you want to memorize something quickly and thoroughly¹, repetition won’t cut it; however, recalling something will. The problem is that recalling something requires learning, and we all learn in different ways. Below are some universal steps to mastering the art of recalling so that you can start memorizing a ton of data in a short amount of time.

这是到目前为止得到的真相,竞选公职。如果你想快速、彻底记住一些东西,重复不会削减它;然而,回忆的东西。问题是,回忆的东西需要学习,我们都以不同的方式学习。下面是一些通用的步骤用来掌握回忆的艺术,这样您就可以在一个短的时间内开始背诵大量的数据。

Before we start, you need to establish something: are you an auditory, visual, or experiential learner? If you’re an auditory learner, then the most effective way for you to grasp information is by hearing it. As you can imagine, visual learners favor seeing something in order to learn it, and experiential learning types are more akin² to learning from events and experiences (or, doing something with the material). Most of us are a combination of at least two of these categories, but I will denote which step is most favorable to your most agreeable learning style so that you can start to memorize things quickly and efficiently³.

在我们开始之前,您需要确认一些东西:你是一个听觉、视觉,或者经验的学习者呢?如果你是听觉学习者,你掌握的信息最有效的方式是通过听证会。因为你可以想象,视觉型学习者倾向于是为了学习它而看到,而经验学习类型更类似于从事件和学习经历中学习(或者用材料做一些事情)。我们大多数人都至少有两种的组合类别,但我将表示这一步是最有利于你的最令人愉快的学习方式,这样您就可以开始快速高效地记住事情。
